What's great about it: looks and sound great when it worked
What's not so great: just stopped working, no power
was really looking forward to having this becasuse my PSW12, which I had for 6 years died on me. This was is smaller, more powerful and lookd way more slick. I used it for a couple of days then one day it just didn't power up. What really got me is Best Buy wont swap it out for a new one - they insist on me sending it back, refunding my money and then I have to buy another one or soemtething else when all I want is just the same sub woofer
This product has... Right size for my space, Easy to set up, Good build quality, slick

What's great about it: Strong, fast and very flexible hookup. Wireless remote control is great.
What's not so great: Auto power-off is disabled when wireless adapter is used.
This 8" Sub sounds great! My hookup is from stereo pre-amp output to the sub line level inputs. It also has speaker level inputs and I bought the wireless adapter kit, but not using it at this time. I have it teamed with a pair of Magneplanars and it is able to match very well with the fast acting Maggies. The wireless remote control is a big bonus and highly recommended.First I considered getting a 12" DSWPro 660wi but felt it would be too much for the Maggies. I believe the 8" 440wi was the correct choice. With 180 Watts continuous it has more than enough power to rattle random items around the room if you so desire!
This product has... Right size for my space, Easy to set up, Good build quality, fast response

What's great about it: Easy to set up, looks great, sounds awesome
What's not so great: Popping noise when it turns on
I listened to and compared specs on a lot of subs before I settled on this Polk unit. It looks great, sounds fantastic, is extremely easy to set up, and works as advertised (most of the time). Two complaints: sometimes it makes a fairly loud pop when it turns on, but that could be a problem with my amp, and sometimes I have to push the power button so it will turn on (explains the "most of the time" above). I'm sure if I turned my amp up loud enough it would come on, but I shouldn't have to. It does stay on even at low volumes, so you don't have to worry about it turning off and on during a movie if there are quiet sections. If you're watching something at night and don't want quite as much bass, there is a night mode that turns down the output and dims the light, so once again it is perfect. The remote volume control works great, and once you figure out the blinking light that tells you the volume level you're set.
This sub is very versatile, the sound can by customized with the remote or with controls on the back, and the very deep bass will knock your teeth out!
Props to Best Buy for getting this to me quickly too. I ordered it on a Friday and it showed up on Monday, in Hawaii! And it came from the west coast, so I was very impressed. I couldn't do in store pickup when I ordered it, and I'm glad because it showed up so quickly, and on my doorstep without having to carry it from the car.
This is the one!
