Polk Audio - PSW505 Subwoofer Review Summary

Polk Audio is one of the oldest most respected names in high fidelity audio and no doubt the Polk Audio PSW505 Powered Subwoofer is one of the reasons why. Our community of reviewers has mostly good things to say about the stylish subwoofer, with one stating that the PSW505 Powered Subwoofer offers “[T]ight, powerful bass, clean sound and great sound dispersion. You can hide it behind a chair with no loss of sound quality or performance.” But another reviewer stated: “I love Polk speakers they are good, but they make lack luster subs.” Polk Audio fitted the 56 lbs PSW505 Powered Subwoofer with a 12” bass driver, Integrated 300 Watt Amplifier, adjustable crossover, and automatic (power) on/off and a plethora of other features.

Simple design and clear sound.  This sub is a real winner.  Excellent frequency response and virtually no distortion or reverberation.  It functions well as both a home theatre and music sub.

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.
