    Default Subwoofer Help

    I currently have a Polk PSW 12 subwoofer. If I were to upgrade to a PSW505 what more can I expect? Will I get more richer and tighter bass? I feel like I am getting a lot of bass now but wish to have something better worth the extra $ I spend for the 505!

    Your post would have gotten much more attention in the "Subwoofer Hookup & Bass Management" forum.

    PLEASE do yourself a favor & visit SVS before you buy another Polk sub. I listened to the folks here & it was a great decision!

    Good luck.

    The 505 is a good solid sub for the money.

    POlk and SVS are not in the same room , so to speak..

    I have , and still do have Polk subs,and SVS`s
    I like them both for what they are, and what I use them for...

    Depends on what your using them with / for , size of room , and budget

    Many people are very happy with the 505, but if your a low freq. nut / phsyco, then an SVS is the way to go..!!
