| | This is a great sub for the budget conscious with a small to medium home theater room. My main points for buying this is the price at the time I bought it here in Amazon, the LFE input that some subs leave out and front firing with the port underneath as well as the power it puts out. I heard some Polk subs have a rattling sound but this new model did not have it, so far (three weeks now).
The only thing is I wished they put the power on led somewhere more noticeable but some people would probably not like it also.
I did not give it a 5 star as I don't believe anything deserves it. But this is really a good choice for me.

| Polk PSW111 8" sub packs punch in a small box | |
| | I bought this used from amazon warehouse for about $30 less than a new one. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it other than it looked like an open box/returned item.
It sounds incredibly great for the price. My room is approx. 16x20x7 and this is plenty of bump. I love bass as much as the next guy, so if I had more cash and more room I might gotten a 12 incher, but it really wasn't needed for my room size anyway. As you can see from the pictures I added, I also have a Polk CS1 center and a Polk Monitor 60 fronts. I am in the process of getting 4 Polk Monitor 30's to use as surrounds to get the full 7.1 in my room. That room is going to be the place to be. I will be sad everytime I have to leave it.

| | The Polk PSW111 is a good subwoofer if you are looking for one that is small and can be hidden in the corner of a room. However, don't expect it to produce the "bone rattling" vibrations of the larger options.

| | 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.
