Not worth the money

I love Polk speakers they are good, but they make lack luster subs.

This sub is not awful and you probably will not hate it, but compare it to something from SVS Sound and you will cry over your bad decision.

Go buy a sub from someone who is know for subs, the Polk sub is just lackluster

Polk Audio, in my experience, has always made a quality speaker. All that I've owned have had great sound at a reasonable price. The PSW505 Subwoofer follows this as well. Tight, powerful bass, clean sound and great sound dispersion. You can hide it behind a chair with no loss of sound quality or performance.
