STRENGTHS: Small size (8 inches) doesn't dominate all the space in the rear of my Bronco. Polk web site also had plenty of plans to build any size/type of enclosure you desire. Speaker/Box combination covers a wide audio range up to 1,000hz (used my signal generator). Matches well to the PA400.1 monoblock amplifier (mounted right on the side of the box that I built [MM2084]). I recommend this path to anyone handy with basic carpentry (to build the box) and wiring skills. And if you have a friend to do this for you . . .
WEAKNESSES: Only been using it for 3 weeks (the one in the Bronco) and 1 week (the one in the house). Haven't experienced any downside thus far.
REVIEW: I was looking for a smaller subwoofer with a wider range. The polk site included plans for subwoofer boxes. I opted for a ported box with a wide range (MM2084) and got the response desired. Connected the speaker to a PA400.1 which mounted right on the side of the subwoofer box I built. Response is perfect without overbearing boominess I hear from other passing cars and trucks.
I made the mistake of connecting the completed speaker/box to my home entertainment system prior to installing it in my truck. It was so much better than that other subwoofer that I had to go out and buy another speaker and build another box for in house use. Thus I actually have two of these speakers!! Adds a lot to the overall listening experience of CD's & DVD's!!!
