"The Best Budget SubWoofer"
Pros: Non expensive Easy to use Nice bass output and ease to setup Warm fill of bass around a regular size room (like my bedroom or my audio room; 4*3*3 mts)
Cons: Not the best one out there Leak bass to fill an open room, like a big living room or dining room It may become noisy vibration maker if not adjusted properly, only for my neighbors

I would just like to provide some clarity to the other reply that was submitted. I have a larger and more sophisticated subwoofer in my livingroom (HTD). I tested this subwoofer using the asteroid scene in Star Wars Episode II. It did not deliver the room rattling deep rumble that my other sub provides, but then again, it is smaller and less expensive. If you can find this unit near the $110 price range, it is worth your money. In a small room, it was very good with music, providing tight, punchy bass. It definitely enhanced the movie experience as well, but will not reach low enough for the most demanding rumble in some movies.

I bought this sub last night for $200. Tested next to a JBL 10 from a HTIB system I bought a few years ago. I found that the Polk performs well on moderate bass movies, but didn't meet my expectations on Matrix:Revolutions. I adjusted and readjusted for 20 minutes. The Polk would do well in small rooms, I am sure, but didn't fill my living room with the rumble I want. For larger rooms, I would look elsewhere, like the JBL Northridge series. Taking the Polk back to CC this weekend for refund.
