Great Value!

By Alan T.

I recall my days as an audio salesman at a place called the Sound Shack in Ft. Pierce, Florida. We sold several lines of speakers; Bose, Infinity, Magnapan, DCM, Quisonic, and Polk, among others. Of those, Polk outsold the others, primarily due to offering outstanding sound at an affordable price. Although subs were available back then, the selection was limited, and most people didn't own one. Instead, folks would rely on their main pair of loudspeakers to supply low end, thus big cabinets a...nd large woofers were a mainstay. Fast Forward to current trends, slimline speakers have replaced wide cabinets, receivers offer surround capabilities, and sub woofers are practically necessary to provide low frequency response. This, of course, leads to the subject at hand, which is this particular Polk Audio sub. Certainly one can pay more, and perhaps with enough money can purchase a better sub. But why would you do so, if it isn't necessary. I purchased this sub as a birthday gift for my son, a college student living in an apartment complex. I already sport two Polk subs in my own system, and looked no further than Polk once again. I warned him that he might want to keep the bass knobs turned down to avoid shaking his neighbors out of their domiciles. The moment I hooked his system up, he and his room mate were blown away... literally. I highly recommend this sub to anyone who wishes to add one to their system. It is a great sub, especially for the price.
