Most Helpful First | Newest First (5 out of 5)GREAT sub for the money
This is a great sub for small to medium size rooms. Not just for the BOOM & BANG home theater crowd, but a MUSICAL sub that will add that bottom end punch and make the music MUCH more involving. Can think of no better way to upgrade a hi-fidelity system. A LOT of value for money spent. Will make an INCREDIBLE improvement in any system. I own TWO of these units, used in different rooms. Am using them with bookshelf speakers in the $2000/pair range. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Audiophile quality sound.
(5 out of 5)I PURCHASED THIS SUBWOOFER ON SALE,AS A GIFT.
THIS IS A HONEY OF A SUBWOOFER.IT IS VERY POWERFUL,YET NATURAL SOUNDING.THE ONE THING POLK KNOWS, IS MUSIC.FROM LIGHT CLASSICAL FOLK, ROCK,JAZZ YOU NAME IT,YOU HERE MUSIC,NOT A SUBWOOFER.WHEN YOU POP IN AN EXCELLENT DVD,YOU ARE IN THE MOVIE.THE SYSTEM IS MATED WITH 3 CERWIN-VEGA SPEAKERS,THAT HAVE EXCELLENT SOUND ON THEIR OWN.THE LONG DISCONTINUED POLK PSW250 8 INCH SUB.WAS SIMILAR IN QUALITY OF SOUND TO THE PSW404. FOR MUSIC THE POLKS ARE BETTER THAN THE VELODYNES,IN MY OPINION.A GOOD DEAL.
(5 out of 5)NOT Disappointed one bit
Besides the compact size and aesthetic appeal, this sub provides all the bass you could desire without compromising on quality. The thing I like most is it's ability to fulfill any audio played and how well it blends. I have no buyer's remorse and would purchase another unit once needed. Cheers!
(5 out of 5)Excellent Subwoofer
I originally purchased the PSW303 (8") it was a good bass unit but I found it to be under powered and to small for the size room. I only use about 1/4 of the volume on this unit to get clear defined bass. It is an excellent match with the front RM20s and four rear RM10s. Polk makes a solid product that's always dependable and their 3/5 yr warranty is better than almost all the other subwoofer I reviewed. The only problem was I purchased it through Crutchfield. Generally a good merchant but this time they couldn't do anything right. They claim the first one was lost in delivery but UPS had no record it was shipped. It took them three (3) weeks to reship and I'm not certain they aren't going to back charge me for the one they lost, if that's really what happened!!!
(5 out of 5)Great sound and value for money
I purchased this sub-woofer for a large room, 17x32(13 foot ceiling), and I am very impressed with the sound output. Polk's website recommended the 404 or the 505 based on my room dimensions, and I opted for the smaller sub because I don't like too much bass.
The speaker is set at about half power, and we still have to adjust the bass volume down on the Amp for some sources. It reproduces a very realistic sound for movies and music.
