Polk Audio PSW111

The Polk Audio PSW111 is a compact 8" home audio subwoofer from Polk Audio's PSW Series.  The subwoofer features a dynamic balance composite woofer driver with a powerful motor structure for handling up to 150 watts of continuous power and 300 watts of peak power.  It is designed with a downward firing port for more powerful bass and compression circuitry to decrease distortion.  It also features controls to adjust the low-pass crossover, phase, and subwoofer volume to its environment and has line and speaker level inputs for wiring compatibility.  The PSW111 has a non-resonant MDF construction with internal bracing for accurate bass and is available in black finish.  The subwoofer is designed to perfectly complement Polk Audio's RM Series and SurroundBar speakers.
