5.0 out of 5 stars great, December 4, 2008

By	C. Harless "christo4" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After some deliberation, I decided to buy this on Amazon rather than a couple of Polk's 10-inch versions. I heard it at BB and thought it was very tight and controlled. I listen almost exclusively to music and just wanted something to fill in the lower registers. This sub complements well my new Yamaha nx-e400 bookshelf speakers (another under-recognized bargain!), which supposedly go down to 55hz on their own. I set the crossover to about 85 hz and turned the volume on the sub to almost halfway, and this combo fills my room with an almost perfect blend of bass, midrange, and treble. If you're just looking for solid bass to help your bookshelf speakers with music, this sub is terrific!

5.0 out of 5 stars light weight champion, May 15, 2007

By	Seung H. Joo - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The fact of living in a small apartment has forced me to search for small size subwoofer.

This sub is a way lighter compared to Polk 303 sub even though they both are equipped with the same size drive (8 inch).

Before purchase this new sub, I tried Polk 303 which produces annoying rattling noise that made me return the unit back to fry's.

Since I had the bad experience with Polk sub, I was a little bit hesitant to try another sub from Polk.

But, since PSW111 is a new breed in the sub crowd, I decided to try.

Foutunately, the new Polk sub has not let me down like the 303 did.

There is neither rattling noise nor boom.

The bass is tight & precise for music play.

It is the lightest sub I have ever lifted.

I haven't used this sub with any surround sound movies since I have only two bookshelf speakers (JBL EX1control).

This sub produces adequate bass for my Apt living room without bothering the next door.

I am really glad to decide to try this sub.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bass for people who like definition..., May 19, 2009

By	Sean Hicks (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're the type of person who thinks the rattle of a license plate from the four or more 15's in the trunk of a car sounds good, look elsewhere. This is not the subwoofer for you and your home theater. For everyone else, this is a great little sub. Proper room placement is everything with this little guy, though. Recommend a spot in a corner opposite the primary listening area.
