    2. What are you having for dinner.

    :D LOL! You know it!!! It's sitting right next to my Boston Sub. I have 2 other outputs for subs, I might get real adventurous afterwards & run my Boston sub along with the Polk!:D

    Default Review of the DSWpro 400

    Well I spent the weekend listening to music & movies & checking out the different options of the sub.

    I still up in the air about the sub for music. It seems to swing from very subtle to very thumpy. I'm still looking for just the right setting for it for music. It's hard since I listen to such an ecletic mix of music.

    For movies...IT'S OUTSTANDING!!!!

    For the first time my room vibrated during big booms!:D This was so apparent when I watched Ironman this afternoon. Between the thumps when he came out of the cave to the difference in the volume of noise the thrusters that Obidiah used on his suit vs the level that Tony used for his was just great.

    It's fun to feel the vibrations in your chest during action sequences!:D

    All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.:)

    Cathy, with all but one of the Polk subs I have owned the volume was pretty close to 3 or 4 out of a possible 100 when listening to music. I kinda just used them to accent the sound. Hope this helps find your "happy spot".
