 Nice Sub September 6, 2010

I purchased this on Amazon for a very good price the only sad thing is that I paid $25 for shipping and one week after I had received it it can be purchased with free shipping, it's still a very good deal I have two home theater systems and my main home theater system I use a Infinity TSS - 1200 speaker system, it also has a 12 inch subwoofer with a 250 watt 500 total watts amplifier, in comparing the two I find the Infinity to be a better product, the polk sounds quite good but the Infinity sub blends a bit better with the surround speakers, the quality of the speaker seems quite good as Polk does build quality products, one thing that could be improved on this subwoofer on the feet they are hard plastic therefore it can slide very easily on a hard floor if the bottom of the feet were rubber tipped that would fix that problem,over all I rate this as a 4 very good sound and a very good price if you want a good deal I recommend buying this subwoofer.
PSW505 vs. DSW Pro 600 September 3, 2010

I own two polk subwoofers: DSW Pro 600 and PSW505. Before I bought the PSW505, I searched high and low for a comparison of the two and nobody seemed to know the differences. Well here goes................Price. That's about it.........
PSW505 is just as loud, just as clear, and hits just as deep as the DSW Pro 600 for any normal to somewhat loud listening level during both music and movies. The sound this sub puts out is something fierce. I only try to wake my immediate neighbors, not the ones 3 houses down, so I can't honestly vouch for a comparison at deafening volumes. Anybody that raves about how much better the DSW Pro line of subs is than this sub has lost their mind and is just trying to justify their waste of the extra money.
Take it from me.... if you have questioned buying this over the dsw pro model, save your hard earned money or put it towards something else that would benefit your system more. Buy this sub, you won't be disappointed.
Very good speaker September 3, 2010

Very happy with the Polk subwoofer, Good price for the great specs and reviews this receives. Looks nice, sounds good, well built.
Note on J&R Music, who sold this: The box arrived with a wet bottom, that was falling apart. J&R paid for return shipping, and sent me another one in good conditions. Their good/quick service turned an unhappy experience into a happy ending. I'd be glad to deal with them again.

Plugged it in and got blown away. I've used a JBL PB12 and it was good sounding although the amp was suspect ( it died ). This one has a bash amplifier, which most audiophiles know is a great amp. It has an LFE. And more options than I needed. I run it through a pioneer vsx519k receiver which doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but it has good power. Satellites are JBL Northridge series. Together the system sounds amazing. I live in a townhome so I don't get too loud. But what's nice is that this sub sounds good at pretty much any level. It doesn't draw attention to itself it's not boomy. It has a very smooth sound and grabs the low frequencies. It says 23hz at 55db and I believe it. I've heard a lot of other subs most which cost a lot more and I have to say the bang for the buck with this sub is incredible.

Bought this after looking at several sites. You cant get a better bargain for a sub woofer. I believe these woofers are no longer in production they have a newer version that are a little bit pricey. So grab it while you can. I am using it in the basement and the furniture's upstairs rumble if I increase the volume on my Onkyo system.
