    • Polk Audio PSW111
Style: Single Pattern: Subwoofer
UPDATE: 4yrs, 9mos in the future! I'm still using this sub daily, and I still recommend it (see end of review for extra info). I researched subs online for a month, and then finally decided on Polk's PSW111. I have since owned the PSW111 for 2 months; and thus far it has been great, working perfectly with my 5.1 surround sound system. I use it every day for at least 8 hours, listening to music and playing Xbox 360 games. The gun fire and explosions in Call of Duty 4 are made much more intense with the bass produced by the PSW111! I bought this sub because my Klipsch [sub] burnt out, and I had to go with NO bass for 9 long months! ...When I finally hooked up the PSW111 and heard the bass, I was so thoroughly pleased :D The sub isn't magnetically shielded, so I have to keep it away from most of my other electronics; but that's not a problem - because most subs are not shielded. I spent $50 on a gold plated-6" Monster cable, kinda funny since the sub itself only cost $200 (NOTE: I do NOT recommend buying expensive cables, because even cheap-o cables are equally good & effective). I live in a small apt, and it fits perfectly. I have the bass set at 1/2 power, and it is perfect for my ears. If you are a person who lives alone in a big house, this sub should still do you just fine, because maxing out the dial on the sub will create a room-shattering amount of bass. However, I'm not sure keeping the sub at max would be a good idea in the long term; for the life of the sub, but I'm no expert. Pros: + The sub is small, sexy looking and pretty damn powerful. + Built very solid, no rattling, no boomy sound whatsoever. + Xbox 360 games sound ridiculously amazing with the PSW111. Cons: - The PSW111 costs slightly more than its bigger 10" cousin. - Not magnetically shielded (but not many subs are so who cares). - It weighs more then it looks like it should, so I suppose that's kinda a positive thing! Conclusion: If you're looking for a small-sized, but still very powerful subwoofer, then this sub is HIGHLY recommended! I myself am a videophile, but I can attest that the PSW111 will please all you audiophiles. I recommend this product! UPDATE: October 2013, I'm just 3 months shy of using this sub for 5 years, and I still use it daily, and I still HIGHLY recommend it! It's a really well-rounded subwoofer, and was obviously built to last. My only regret was that I was a noob 4yrs ago and spent $50 on a Monster cable (go to monoprice(DOT)com if you want affordable cables)! ... show more

    • Compact, punchy and works great with my Pioneer SP-FS52's
Style: Single Pattern: Subwoofer
I wanted to add a small sub for more low end sound to my already amazing Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers. I didn't need to blow away the neighbors, but I was certainly missing that extra punch when watching movies and listening to certain genre's of music. The main criteria was that it be compact and affordable considering it was going into my main living area where my spouse was already giving me some grief about moving the Pioneer's there from my "former" media room now baby nursery. I considered the matching Pioneer SW-8MK2 but its size was a drawback and I felt I could get a little more for my money. Enter the PSW111. The sub's size allowed me to put it neatly in a corner so it isn't taking up any more space or drawing attention to itself. Price wise, it is currently about half off (close out price?) MSRP so it is an incredible value for what you are getting. I was a bit concerned given everything I read about this sub and how it was designed to match with smaller satellite speakers and sound bars. Again, I wasn't trying to blow away the neighbors and trying keep my spouse happy so I took a shot and ordered it. I am completely amazed and satisfied by how well this compact punchy sub complements the excellent midrange of the Pioneers. The sound is very seamless and tight. I can't speak to any distortion yet as I haven't demo'd the right material yet, but I expect it to do very well with 99% listening material at my preferred volume levels. Many have complained about the speaker failing after some use. I'm really hoping to dodge that bullet, but won't have a problem going through the warranty process should any issues arise. ... show more

    • Nice little Sub
Style: Single Pattern: Subwoofer
I bought this for my father to go with a small home theater system I set up for him. I was skeptical about the size & price of the sub as generally this is a bad combination small and cheep when it comes to subs, however after reading the Amazon reviews and the Polk tech specs 150 watts Continuous power with 300 watts Dynamic Power I decided to give it a try, and in general I would say this is a strong product for what it is, a small cheep sub. The sub is well built and setup in a small room 12 x 15 with good acoustic, it sounds very good, nice and rich with acceptable lows, really not bad at all; this is a good starter sub for a small room or for home theater again in a small room if you don't want to speed the $800 plus to get a decent sub, and you don't mind giving up the lower lows and the power (rumble) of a better sub. For my father this is a very good fit. And again overall I think the sound quality is very good and will be sufficient for the casually listener, it's A LOT better than a all in one box sound systems. Personally I have had many subs over the years, and presently have 3 systems in my house all with subs. ... show more
