Great value for the price

Internal bracing and MDF construction

Good budget option for those new to the hobby or looking for a secondary subwoofer

Not very powerful or clear

Requires a Y-splitter cable for connection

Not the best choice for those seeking high-end performance

Verdict

The Polk Audio PSW10 receives mixed reviews, with some praising its affordability and solid performance, while others criticize its lack of power and clarity. Many reviewers recommend it as a good budget option for those new to the hobby or looking for a secondary subwoofer. The subwoofer's internal bracing and MDF construction are noted as positives, while its eccentricities, such as the need for a Y-splitter cable, are mentioned as drawbacks. Overall, the PSW10 is considered a decent option for those on a budget, but not the best choice for those seeking high-end performance.

Inexpensive SW... and sounds like one too.

I've had the PSW12 for 8 or so years. It's a very quality SW. Still in use in my living room. I bought this thing for my pool house setup. Well... not too impressed. It's a bit muddy sounding, and with only a 50 watt RMS amp, seems a tad underpowered. I mean, for the money this cost, it's ok. Kind o...

Didn’t realize the size difference.

Went from a Polk psw10 to the SVS sb2000 that I picked up for 250 usd then yesterday found 2 of these HSU’s for 1000 usd and couldn’t pass them up.

32 Pounds of Serious Boom-Boom-Boom Power

This is 32 pounds of serious boom-boom-boom power. Definitely the best of the best in this price range, and a lot better than several subwoofers that cost a lot more. My setup is as follows: THE CONNECTION: I connected my Polk subwoofer using a 15-foot RCA audio pin cable with a Y splitter at the su...

Wondering if it would be okay to place a Micca mb42x-c horizontally under my monitor as a speaker for my computer? I'm thinking that I would have a Bluetooth amp underneath. I'm new to this whole audiophile thing and don't really know anything about it. I just want some amazing sound for my computer

The Polk Audio PSW10 10" Powered Sub is not loved by many, but for an inexpensive desktop setup, it works pretty good with a pair of MB42X and [can often be found for $100 or That setup will fit your budget.

Overkill for what I need but who cares

I bought a smaller and cheaper 8" in sub for my home office. I had to send it back for a refund because like the saying goes 'you get what you pay for'. I looked for a replacement and came across this sub by Polk. I spent $90 on the cheaper sub, so an extra 60ish dollars wasn't a big deal. I have it...
