Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Polk Audio PSW505 Powered Subwoofer is ideal when you have a big room in need of a big, life-like bass impact, that is still tight, precise and accurate. The PSW505 is equally at home reproducing all the subtle nuance of a plucked string bass as it is belting out a rocket's roar. The Polk PSW505 utilizes a shielded 12-inch high-excursion polymer-composite cone with hi-roll surround driver for tight musical bass, as well as slot-load venting that further improves bass response by dramatically lessening turbulence, noise and distortion. This unit's rock-solid MDF enclosure construction with one-inch-thick front baffle suppresses enclosure panel resonance for an even more distortion-free, accurate response.

The PSW505 includes an unfiltered LFE input for use with low-pass filtered subwoofer output jacks, and pro-grade five-way binding post speaker inputs and outputs. This unit features an on/off circuit that automatically turns your subwoofer on when it senses a program signal, and shuts it off within 15 minutes after no signal is present. The PSW505 also features an adjustable low-pass crossover, phase switch and volume control that allows perfect blending with any main speaker, and magnetic shielding for safe placement near TVs and video monitors without causing video distortion. Full-featured and over-powered, the Polk Monitor PSW505 has a sleek, black real-wood veneer finish and is a great introduction to high-performance sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound from a Great company, October 30, 2007
By Harold F. Kopietz (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Polk Audio is still making great speakers. I bought my first pair almost 30 years ago in 1978, had them for almost 25 years till I replaced them with smaller ones with a Velodyne sub. When my overpriced Velodyne sub went out on me last month, I decided to give Polk Audio a try since my first experience with Polk was so good. All I can say is that I'm glad I went with the 12" and for the approx $300 price tag, it sounds as good if not better than my high end $800 Velodyne sounded. For the extra $75 or so, get the 12" as opposed to the 10", you'll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low and Tight, November 7, 2008
Was very iffy on this sub since I was going from a $1,000 Velodyne to this, but let me tell you I am not disapointed.Low tight bass with no distortion or rumble, sounds much better playing music than the Velodyne did,even though I use it mainly for movies.In my opinion you are getting a high end sounding subwoofer for $300, there is no way you can beat that!Tried to see how loud I could take it to see at what level it would start to distort, but could not get there because my windows were about to pop And my nose started to itch from the tremendous vibration, teeth rattled a little too! trust me I am not exagerating! BUY THIS SUB!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars BOOMIN' BASS IN BIG ROOM!, September 27, 2007
By Anthony Petan (Brick, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
I tried a couple of other subs before I finally broke down and bought this one. Not the least expensive one, but definately the loudest one I've owned! My listening area is 16' X 18' with a large opening into the Dining Room. This sub really hits hard and lets you feel the bass the way it is meant to be. I have it stationed behind my wifes chair, and the first time I had it on with her sitting in place she kept leaning forward and looking behind her chair to see what all the rumbling was. I just laughed when she asked me if I did something to the Surround System. Spend the extra dough, you won't be disappointed.
