Review on πŸ”Š Enhanced Bass Performance with Polk Audio PSW10 10-inch Powered Subwoofer - Power Port Technology, Up to 100 Watts Output, Compact Design for Home Theater Systems, Effortless Setup, Black by Kelly Hall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great entry-level subwoofer, but above-average distortion!

I had PSW108 for 10 days before I got this one. As soon as I plugged this in, I immediately heard the difference. This sub distorts very easily and doesn't play as well at lower frequencies as the 108. In their defense they note the frequency difference in the description. "Speaker Hack" really helps. After a week of electronic music, trap and 90's bass music I feel comfortable buying the subwoofer. That or my expectations were finally lowered. The subwoofer also didn't work well with movies. I have a Vizio soundbar and a 6" sub would be MUCH better for Game of Thrones than this 10" sub. Finally, this rating is not a ploy to spend $300 or more on a subwoofer to earn a 5-star rating, but rather to warn buyers not to expect great performance at high volume. This product shines at intermediate levels of play. Overall I can see why this is a "best seller" and it's definitely a great option for music, but if you're looking for a deep, rich sound then you might want to consider another option.

Pros
  • Something above
Cons
  • boring packaging
