I purchased this subwoofer about 2 months ago and back again accept accustomed it an all-encompassing alert test. Following is a account of things I would do to advance complete affection as able-bodied as some anxiety I accept against it.
Before I alpha off, I would like to analyze one affair about the PSW-10 that ability unjustly about-face off abeyant buyers from it: it runs at 50 watts RMS. In the apple of music and complete systems, one of the better misconceptions out there is that wattage anon correlates with how loud a apostle is. THIS IS NOT NECCESARILY TRUE! The ability of the disciplinarian determines how loud it gets at a assertive wattage, not alone the bulk of ability you're pumping into it! This is why you can buy, for example, computer speakers that avowal 400watts of ability and accept them calmly massacred in agreement of aggregate by apostle set ups with bisected the ability (for added examples, analyze computer apostle systems to shelf systems to a authentic complete system. You will acquisition the volume, at a accustomed wattage, tends to access as you go bottomward the spectrum).
I activate the PSW-10 calmly competed in agreement of aggregate with every added sub in it's range, including those active at alert to three times the ability RMS. If you demand to prove it to yourself, run bottomward to your bounded Circuit City (who sells Polk subs) and complete analysis it yourself.
Now, assimilate the audacity of the review.
1. As far as access subwoofers come, this is apparently the best blast for your blade that you can acquisition bar none, abnormally because the affection of the build. Built about aerial affection average body agenda and application a awful able 10" driver, the PSW-10 manages to blast as well, if not louder, than added subwoofers in this category, admitting active at 50 watts RMS.
2. The complete affection is excellent, with actual little baloney at aerial volumes aloft 50 hz or so, with abounding circuit calmly actuality accomplished because of the ported design. In the 40hz - 50hz range, the polk begins to appearance the limitations of an access akin sub, the complete acceptable hardly added decrepit (though not angrily so) with continued breadth sounds(ie. a hellicopter landing slowly) while still blockage brittle for access babble (ie. a gunshot or bassdrum). Beneath the 40hz, it's appealing abundant non-functional as a subwoofer. I should additionally accent that no access subwoofer has any redeeming qualities beneath 40hz.
3. Music is area this subwoofer absolutely shines! It's bass is absolute for every brand of music (my tastes tend to be a bit ecclectic and as such I activated it with Classical, Hip Hop, Electronica, Rock, and Jazz) you can bandy at it. I was best afflicted back arena The Chieftans "Ballad of the Irish Horse" anthology and could accept affidavit the drums were arena in the allowance (a attestation to the affection of polk's design). Abysmal bass is 99.9% of the time is bound to aloft 50hz, appropriate in the candied atom of the polk, and as such, the bass curve in every Rap song I approved (the acute actuality Wolfpak - Gangsta Rap and Kanye West - Golddigger) was absolutely impressive, authentic and crisp. Back arena the 1812 Overature, the cannons were able-bodied produced, if actual hardly decrepit (as it is one of the few songs that ventures beneath 50hz) but all-embracing actual good. I was actual afflicted with the complete affection of the polk in music.
4. That actuality said, this subwoofer is ideal for music and will be black for those who ambition to use it for cine watching. While it is benign to add it to any non-subwoofer setup, the 10" disciplinarian struggles to hit the low lows with the complete acceptable decrepit with deep, abysmal bass of any length. I activate this to be a botheration with all access subwoofers I've tried, not aloof the polk, so booty this with a atom of salt.
Overall, this subwoofer is apparently the best access subwoofer you can get bar none.
TIPS FOR MAKING IT SOUND BETTER!!!
1. First affair of note: Like all affection access akin subwoofers, abundant complete comes with the cede of volume. This sub works best in abate rooms, say 20x10 maximum. Any beyond and the complete will activate to get absent in the allowance and complete strained.
2. Best subwoofers assignment the best forth the advanced bank of your complete system, in the corner. This about is not a basal rule. To acquisition the best area for the subwoofer (this works for any sub for your information), abode the subwoofer area you would commonly be sitting, alert to it. Play a song and airing about the allowance until you acquisition abode area the bass sounds the best. Move the sub to that area and it should be alluringly placed!
3. One shortcoming about the Polk is the abridgement of an LFE input: you alone get RCA and apostle band inputs acceptation that there is no way you can bypass the centralized crossover of the sub. Because the bazaar it's aiming for, this shouldn't be too big of a botheration for best people, but owners with acceptable receivers ability be a bit affronted by this. Also, do not amalgamation the sub through the apostle line: it'll lose a fair bulk of complete affection from banishment the bass through baby barometer wires. Hook it up through the RCA if at all accessible and you will be abundantly rewarded.
In summation, admitting the anxiety inherent of the access akin subwoofer chic (and LFE port), this is an accomplished subwoofer which warrants all the acclaim it's been getting.
