Polk Audio DSW MicroPRO 1000 Subwoofer Speaker (Single, Black)

This thing really fills out the bottom end. sounds very fluid with the matching speakers (i have the rti a1) and has the ability to really "bump" but it does sound very different than ported subs. very very different sound. I think it sounds a little more like it is part of the music. even rap sounds more real, rather than like you have a subwoofer in the room. some people like that sound, though. I am very happy with this sub.side note: seems extra dependent on location. worth buying a right-angle connector if placing in a corner. and play with it. sometimes if i didn't place it quite right it would sound like it was sending beams of sound along both the walls and diagonally across the room, but there were pockets where there was no bass.very good sub though. barely moves but makes a ton of bass. turn it up, and watch the excursion go. the driver can move a LOT if it wants to. goes LOW.

Product arrived as described by seller. But performance did not quite live up to my expectations.

Very disappointed. Not because it doesn't sound great. It does, particularly for how small it is. I'm upset that it only lasted 3 years(+ a few days, enough to be out of warranty). It's completely dead. Took it to a local stereo repair place and they said "tough luck". Called Polk and they said I could buy a new amp, but that they don't even have any service centers. They would only help me if it was under warranty (via exchange), or sell me the amp to install myself. Pretty surprised, but I think it's why you didn't see this model aggressively marketed or widely available, even though the Polk guy told me this never happens. Hmm, is that why I see Polk selling refurbs of this model on ebay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/361160892103

Nice subwoofer while it lasted. After four years, it blows fuses every time I turn it on. Called Polk Customer Service. Internal electronics are difficult to repair. Replacement amp is $300-400. Not worth repairing to me.

I would rate this sub 5 star, it's easy to setup especially when the LFE input and the handy remote control. The sound is great and I have to keep volume fairly low to not drown out the other speakers. The only negative item is the fact that it will at times not respond to the LFE input signal nor to the remote control. I have to cycle power off/on to get the unit to turn on. This is not a big deal except in my case where the sub is in a cabinet and makes it hard to get to the power plug or power switch in back of the unit. I am going to install a extension cord with a switch to resolve this issue. BTW my old (much cheaper)Yamaha sub never had this problem,it was located in the same location, powered from the same receiver and power outlet.

I'll be brief and to the point. Just bought a Harman Kardon AVR 3550HD 7x75-Watt 1080p from Amazon. Amazing. I was at a loss as to what to get as far as a sub. Did some research and decided on this little jewel. Folks its plug and play,clean and crisp. Very minor adjustments thru the remote and you have magic in a box. Sounds fantastic and here is the kicker. Hide it!!! Your friends will be dazzled and so will you. There are more expensive subs, but why pay more? This sub rocks....literally! By the way I paid $370 plus 25 for shipping from WholesaleAV which is an Amazon retailer and they got it to me in 4 days!

Powerful subwoofer. Stopped working after 6 years of light use.

I have two of these units as part of a sound system that can duplicate a live concert. The reason I chose the 8" units is because I love great jazz. The bottom end of this sub woofer is so quick and tight you don't miss a single bass thump. Occasionally I have to turn them off because a cable channel transmits unnecessary obnoxious low frequency content that no one else can even hear or experience. They (sub woofers) operate with two large bi-amped Polk tower speakers, and leave people in awe at the sound quality. For day to day music listening I feed wav files to an Oppo BDP-103 via flash drives and the sound is incomparable.

Powerful beep bass for the size of the speaker.
