db1040 Features:
10-inch single voice coil subwoofers optimized for high performance in virtually any enclosure type: sealed, vented and band pass.
Wrap-around rubber gasket seals the sub in your enclosure for airtight performance.
State-of-the-art laser-based Klippel measurement technology perfectly centers the subwoofer’s voice coil in the magnetic field, improving X-max and BL linearity, and the sub’s micro and macro dynamics, for deep, precise, bass!
Black matte-finish composite cones are unbelievably stiff for real gut-pounding bass.
Injection molded ABS dust cap also stiffens the cone to suppress unwanted resonance for incredible low distortion, high impact bass response.
Big beefy magnet structure and motor assembly for high output bass with tight control.
Durable butyl rubber surround for consistent, reliable performance.
Four-layer vented voice coil runs cool while your music stays hot.
Vented pole piece for higher efficiency and ultra-high power handling.

Review:
Well, I have always loved polk from the first time i heard them. I bought a pair of the DB 8" Subwoofers and loved them! In every encloser i put them in they beat out alot of twin 10 systems and even twin 12. However, when i upgraded my interior speakers, i had to get louder subs. with my satisfaction with the 8's, i figured the 10's would be great. I got a pair of these 10's for christmas and a sealed Bassworks encloser. in my room during the break in, the were great.. hard hitting and louder than i had expected, until i put the stead lows into them... the had no low end resonance. after looking into the math, i realized these speakers resonate way to high for a sealed box. In a ported box they would be much more amazing and deeper. i have a box on the way from bassworks, and im sure it will sound much nicer.
