Polk Audio PSW10 vs Polk Audio PSW110

Polk Audio PSW10 review

I find it especially interesting to compare the devices of the same manufacturer and that’s how I came up with testing Polk Audio PSW10 vs Polk Audio PSW110. Both subwoofers have a 10 inch driver and nearly similar dimensions. PSW10 is equipped with nominal output power of 50 W and the maximal reaches 100 W. Its unique configuration uses a specially tuned and directed port to more efficiently produce maximum bass impact. Professionally designed line- and speaker-level inputs, and speaker level outputs make it easy to connect this subwoofer to any system while detachable grilles add an extra protection for the driver and the whole device.

Polk Audio PSW110 review

Comparing 10-inch subwoofers I’ve been testing Polk Audio PSW110 vs PSW10 products. The first one has a 100-200 W range between nominal and maximal output power is engineered to provide an outstanding productivity even on high volume with distortion-free low frequencies and impressively deep bass effects. With a 32-250 Hz frequency response and 8 Ohm impedance this subwoofer produces a decent clear sound. Exceptional speaker geometry and driver materials ensure effortless performance of the device in high-stress and big bass situations when you need them most. Small overall size shouldn’t confuse you as with its inner features combination PSW110 delivers maximum bass impact.
