STRENGTHS:
clean sound, hits hard, can hit those low bass tones with no effort and comes with a great price.
WEAKNESSES:
umm if i find one ill be sure to post it on here.
REVIEW:
This sub has amazing sound, very clean and pounds hard. Have a single 12 in my 2001 Mustang running off a 1000 watt lightning audio amp and sounds awsome could not ask any more from a sub. But there was one thing i looked inside the box and there were no Polk stickers to be found! where are my Pold Audio stickers?

STRENGTHS:
Amazing sound, these subs have incredible bass! Amazing look at a great price!
WEAKNESSES:
Slight mechinal noise, nothing black tape could'nt fix!
REVIEW:
I have 4 sr12 dvc's in a custom box in my eclipse! These are by far the best subs I have used and will not go to anything else! These subs are powered by a rockford power 1000 watt amp and I easily have the loudest sound system around! Recently purchased polks componet speakers and cant wait to have them installed! Also wannt to compliment the polk audio support! They are very helpful with any problems you may have.

STRENGTHS:
amazing power handling, very clean, very deep bass. sounds great sealed or ported. killer looks too, just begs to be inverted.
WEAKNESSES:
made a weird "rattle" noise which turned out to be the wires leading from the terminal to the voice coil bouncing against the cone and eachother. taped each pair of wires together with electrical tape and the rattling stopped.
REVIEW:
i've had this sub for over a year now (well its in my wife's car) and it can take the abuse. in the first car i had it in a sealed box built to spec with 600 watts rms on it. sounded great. now its in a '95 Celica hatch back in a spec ported box with the same amp. to the guy who said these dont work well in ported boxes needs to hear this car. holly s@#! this thing pounds!!! but yet its still clean and tight. yes the box is really big at almost 3 qubic feet but everyone who has heard it does not believe its only one 12". Polk hit a grand slam with this sub, it can pound with the best of them like the Rockford T1's or the MTX 9500's, but has far better sound quality than those do. my only disapointment is that its in my wifes car because the box wouldn't fit in my vette lol.

STRENGTHS:
very clean bass, can't ask for much more, VERY SATISFIED!!!
WEAKNESSES:
come on its a Polk audio product, well come to think of it there is one minor down fault... WHERE IS MY POLK AUDIO STICKER???
REVIEW:
so far I have had this sub for about 3 days now.. So ya I'm still in the break in process, currently running a mtx thunder elite 801d to my SR, if it sounds this good now while breaking it in, I'm afraid of what lies ahead... GREAT SUB!!! especially when running all Polk momo high's...

Sean Platt (May 22nd, 2008) |
STRENGTHS:
Great mid to high level base very clear and doesnt drown out the interior music. Sounds amazing in smaller enclosures. Looks beautiful in person! Hits every note how its ment to be herd not all monotone like lower end subs. really makes you appreciate music! 3 YEAR WARRENTY!
WEAKNESSES:
Doesnt do well in vented boxes. The SR should have an easier terminal jumper system because the amp wire is hard to attach with the allen key and sometimes the connection is loose. PUT SOME STICKERS IN THE BOX I WANNA REP POLK!
REVIEW:
I put alot of time into researching the SR and finaly purchased one a few months ago. I didnt want to write a review on it untill I had tested the sub completely. I have the SR on my kicker 750.1 at its recomended rms rating which handles very well at high listening levels. The SR dosent distort and hits every note clearly unlike other subs that tend to have a long excursion. I am also very pleased to say that Polk has been a great help via email and over the phone. and I would also like to thank Polk for sending me a new SR in 4 days because I blew the first one I had becuase it was installed into a vented enclosure. I now have the SR installed into a small 1.3 cubic foot sealed box into my Jetta and let me tell you the difference is whate made this review a 5 out of 5. You have to hear it to belive it! Make sure you buy directly from Polk or a valid retailer.

Polk Response:
The SR series does function well in a vented enclosure. However the woofer does require a fairly large box and a rather large port to be properly tuned. If you're not using the recommended slot vent at the appropriate dimensions to get the appropriate vent area and length, the sub will not perform well. Further, one disadvantage of vented boxes in general over a sealed is the box loses control of the woofer below the port tuning frequency. In this case, use a high pass/subsonic filter. |

STRENGTHS:
Excellent performance - produces bass notes extremely clean and accurate. Plus it looks damn good doing it!
WEAKNESSES:
I currently can't afford the new PA1200.1 to power these things :( ...but the 2 C500.1's will do for now.
REVIEW:
The SR124 subwoofer is simply amazing. I was blown away... literally. I keep this thing in my trunk and the front seat still vibrates - it doubles as a massage! The best part of this sub is the clean bass. I can honestly say this is the cleanest sub I've ever head play. Anything I say will be an understatement, you simply have to hear it to believe it. I've had two of these subs for almost a year and I couldn't be happier. I'll never let these things go - EVER!

movado (January 23rd, 2008) |
STRENGTHS:
Great output, very low distortion, very repsonsive, great looks, solid terminals. with all music played deep and was hard to place location
WEAKNESSES:
no polk amp that can power it.
REVIEW:
i enjoy music more with this woofer, it plays as low as i would like and it snappy and responsive. from death metal to hip hop from jazz to celtic music this sub did not miss a step. very clean no distortion and can handle all the power i give it. im using an audison VRX15002 2000RMS at 1 ohm i have two woofers DVC. they seem to disapear very well. great product and surpasses all my expectations. for the price you can only spend double to start comparing and possibly still choose the polk!

Sean (October 29th, 2007) |
STRENGTHS:
Looks good.
WEAKNESSES:
Not suitable for reverse mount due to mechanical noise. Looooooonnnnng break in period. Need to go with another brand amp since Polk does not have one that is really suited for this sub.
REVIEW:
My initial impressions of this sub are not good. Seems like they spent alot of time making it look good from the back which to me is a waste of time since the subs mechanical noise ruins the sound when reverse mounted. Mine are not broken in yet and probably will not be because I purchased these with reverse mount in mind. Since thats out they will get sold for something better.

M (June 23rd, 2007) |
STRENGTHS:
Incredible sound quality, deep, precise, and powerful bass with great versatility. This sub is built with quality and the right technologies. This sub also has a great sophisticated appearance.
WEAKNESSES:
NONE
REVIEW:
This is a true top of the line reference subwoofer. I feel that The Signature Reference series of subwoofers are the best Polk Audio subs ever built, Polk subs continue to get even better. Two SR124-DVC's sound incredible in my small sealed enclosure, plays extremely well with many types of music. This is one of best subs I have ever heard, everything sounds like it should sound with accurate, powerful, and deep bass. I also like the chrome on the back of this sub; it would look very cool in an enclosure with a plexi glass window. This sub has every thing that I look for in a sub in terms of sound quality, technologies used, durability, and build quality, and appearance.

Cole (May 7th, 2007) |
STRENGTHS:
They sound amazing and perform like $1000 subs!
WEAKNESSES:
Polk needs higher ouput amps, so that I dont have to go buy MTX Audio amps!
REVIEW:
I've had my SR for about two months now...and I regret to tell you I blew it up! Not sure how, maybe I didn't give it along enough break in period...however...I love my SR! and Polk sent me out a BRAND NEW one at no charge! I've had a lot of different brands of subs Rockford Fosgate, Pionner, Kenwood...and the Polks are unbeatable!

MIKE (November 5th, 2006) |
STRENGTHS:
NICE CLEAN, DEEP LOW BASS.
WEAKNESSES:
I REALLY CAN'T THINK OF ANY WEAKNESSES.
REVIEW:
THIS SUB SOUNDS GREAT. IT HAS A NICE LOW DEEP TIGHT BASS. I BOUGHT ONE 12 BEFORE I HAD EVEN HEARD. I HEARD THE DB SERIES SUBS AND I FIGURED THE SR'S WOULD SOUND GREAT. I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE SOUND IT PUTS OUT. I HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO A ALPINE V12 600 WATT AMP AND IT SHAKES THE HELL OUT OF MY CIVIC. I HAVE MY AMP ONLY UP HALF WAY AND DEBATING IF I EVEN NEED TO TURN IT UP ANYMORE. I DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THIS SUB TO ANYONE.

Charles Garnes (June 14th, 2006) |
STRENGTHS:
High Power Handling. Goes to town on the low notes... High Excursion... Super Clean Sound
WEAKNESSES:
Polk needs bigger amps!
REVIEW:
This is by far the best sub polk has ever had. And I've used them all! I did a pair in a new Dodge 2006 Megacab PU on two polk 500 w mono amps and it did a 141.8 dB with USAC mics. Gorgeous woofer and works great.

No matching amp from Polk to push it to its full potential. :(
REVIEW:
I got to hear a pair of these in Polk's Dodge Magnum at the CES Show. They sounded awesome! I have to get a pair as soon as they are available!! A must have! They handle the power too.
