Polk PSW505 too powerful for a Monitor 40 system?

[gte697h]

Hi!

I am thinking of getting monitor 40's for the fronts and rears, a CS1 for the center and an Onkyo 705 receiver. And I want a good sub to go with this setup. The PSW505 is on sale locally.

My question: Is the PSW505 overkill i.e. is it too powerful for this kind of setup? I'm a noob so the answer to this question might be as simple as "Don't turn up the volume on the sub".

You can never use too much glue.

You can never have too much booze on hand.

You can never have too many beautiful women around.

You can never have too much subwoofer.

I couldn't agree more. The rest of those things DKG listed can get you in trouble though. :D

dont worry as log as your wife(if you are married) gets irritated by how loud it sounds and tells you to turn down the volume

I think you answered your own question. It has a volume control on it. Make sure it's balanced to the rest of the system and it'll do just fine :)
