So I moved to a much smaller apartment with thin as hell walls. I had to ditch my uber home theater gear in favor of more room and neighbor friendly products. I had already snagged the Polk sats for a smoking deal locally, but needed some subtle bottom fill. Enter the Polk 10".
Like most I read the reviews of the cheaper model and the pricier ones. Having experience and knowing how to interpret online reviews I went with this one. It's exactly as I expected, maybe a tad larger than I hoped, but that's it.
I set it up and let my Yamaha do it's auto calibrate. I did this with the sub set to 50% volume (using LFE input too). When it was done I gave it a listen. For the volumes I can use safely play in my place, movies and music sounded great. Plenty of low end grunt for both.
For everyday use I set the sub level down to 25% to truly achieve a non floor vibrating subtle low end fill. No complaints yet and it's not any louder than any of my neighbors jam gear. Again, no vibration into the floor and when walking all over the apartment as well as outside I wasn't hearing any of the long standing waves pummeling the air.
Quite happy with this budget, low power bachelor life subwoofer.Get more detail about Polk Audio PSW110 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black).
