Summary:
Note: Purchase price is in New Zealand dollars (NZ$900)
Great sub for the money. If you are after a sub that will provide great tight bass for music and good sub for movies, this is great value for money. I agree with the other reviewer that says if you want a sub for a rave party and want to vake the whole city, this this isnt for you. But if you want good clean bass for music and movies, this is good value for money.

Strengths:
Very muscical and tight. excellent all rounder. plenty of power for music and movies. good value for what you get.

Weaknesses:
none really if it is used correctly. if you want to shake the neighbourhood you should probably buy something else.

Summary:
I've listen to this sub for 2 and a half years now and it only sounds better and better.I've taken a little time over the years to learn how to properly use subs and suggest many others do same and you will realize that half of the subs many are bashing are better than you"ll ever know if you use them properly.Ignorance can destroy something truly wonderful.

Summary:
I found this to be a very nice sub. It is very good for music listening in a medium sized room, and does an excellent job for what it is intended. It does require some tweaking, but the results can be breathtaking. I find it unfortunate that this sub gets some bad reviews for not being a ground shaker. It isn't designed for that. If you are thinking of buying a sub, spend the money and get what you need. Please do not spend $250 for a sub and leave trashy reviews when it doesn't rattle things like a $1200 sub. If you are an average listener in an average sized room, you cannot do much better for the money than this Polk. I probably would not recommend it for loud home theater. It does seem to run out of power on sustained bass notes at high volumes, or it bottoms out the cone. If you want to rattle the neighbors dishes, look elsewhere. If you are a serious music listener, definatly look into this one.

Strengths:
Build quality, sound, all the stuff that matters

Weaknesses:
Not an boom box

Price Paid:  $350.00

Summary:
Was happy with it at first, sounds great with music. But it is constaly popping when i play moves. So i have to turn it way down.

Strengths:
great for music

Weaknesses:
crappy for movies.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I had this sub for over a year. Generally when set up correctly this sub can produce room shaking bass for both music and movies. Sometimes the bass was muddy though and not tight. Also, when set to the level that I like it, overdrive occurs periodically. It has produced a cracking noise on a number of occasions which is a shock to the system especially after drinking great quantities of beer. This means that the voicecoil is leaving the slot that it should be travelling in. It can't be doing the sub any good either. I replaced with a Velodyne 12" and I am very happy with it. See my review under the CHT-12.

Strengths:
Good bass for the bucks (at the new reduced price of around $350 CDN)

Weaknesses:
Overdrives.
