Summary:
This sub is a killer. It's probably the smallest 12' sub I've ever seen, but it put out the mass amount of bass. Very solid built sub for 12'.

Strengths:
Small and solid built. Very affordable price for 300w amp.
It can go deep and clean with NO distortion.
Nice looking front and rear

Weaknesses:
Volume has to go up near half to kick off the reference level

Summary:
Absolutely IMPRESSIVE! I was shocked that so much deep resonance could come from such a little cube! This sub is theater quality, and will not let you down no matter what your listening style is. I am a true Polk Audio fan now!

Strengths:
Awesome power
Handles large loads with ease
Compact
LFE Input
Rattles windows and doors, along with a picture or two off of the walls!

Weaknesses:
None I could find!

Summary:
Very well made and powerful subwoofer. Excels at movies but is right at home in the middle of an audiophile quality music-only system! Deep bass with definition and clarity...not mushy and ill-defined like cheap units. Compares favorably to more expensive units. Go with the 12" version over the 10". I tried both and felt most bang for the buck with the 12".

Strengths:
Deep, powerful bass with lots of definition, clarity and foundation. Internal crossover does not affect the sound. Built well with real wood veneer. Removable IEC power cord for tweakers. High quality binding posts and rca's. High value for your money.

Weaknesses:
None. Unless your room is too small and suffers from bass-overload! if so, just turn it down. The controls are very smooth and flexible!!
