Pros: Cost

Cons: Lacks bottom end. Muddy when pushed hard. Port Noise.

I own 2 of these subs. No bottom end without excessive port noise, actually not much bottom end period. If you are thinking about buying this sub, DONT. Save your money until you can get something better, or buy something different around the same price point. I will be replacing these subs as soon as the wife will let me. Stay far away, no matter how cheap it is. I regret buying these subs, un-listenable at high volume levels, your ears will thank you if you do not buy this sub. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SUB!

Doesn't surprise me at all. Polk used to be a good name for car stereo (pre-sub-era), but once they took their turn at Home Audio...everything went South.

I have this sub and like it sometimes at low volumes, but at real high volumes it doesn't always sound the greatest. some songs it sounds decent on. other songs don't hit hard like I thought that they would. I got a good deal on it, so I can't complain to much. I like how it sounds on rock music, but not great at rap music.

I agree Sean the older Polk Audio floor standing speakers that my former neighbors had sounded much better then a lot of the new Polk Audio stuff out. I used to hang out with the neighbors parents kids when I was younger. I used to love to hear the Polk audio speaker with a great sounding Marantz receiver.
