10-inch Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer
Incredible Sound/Affordable Price
- Polypropylene cone with rigid ABS dustcap to stiffen the cone for greater mechanical stability and lower distortion.
- Marine Certified Polk db Series speakers are built tough to withstand the toughest environments so they are perfect for use in boats of all types. That's why Correct Craft offers Polk Audio speakers in their award-winning Nautiques ski and wakeboarding boats.
- Santoprene surround is impervious to extremes in temperature, humidity and exposure to sunlight for excellent long term reliability.
- Fire-retardant flat NOMEX Spider allows extended linear motion while providing highly reliable mechanical and thermal stability.
- Double venting of the 4-layer Kapton Voice Coil Former, Cone/Coil Coupler and Pole Piece contribute to the high power handling and reliability of the db Series subs.
- As with all Polk Audio subwoofers, the voice coil alignment, motor and suspension were optimized using a state-of-the-art Klippel laser analyzer. The result is superior cone travel linearity for flatter response and lower distortion.
- Single Voice Coil version also available - db104

Clarity and Depth
Weaknesses:
Not as efficient as the Rockford 12's
Review:
2 of these replaced 2 very good Rockford Fosgate 12 woofers. Not only were they cleaner and sharper, which I expected, but they seem to go much lower, too. Perhaps it's because there no booming to mask the depth. It fits in much better with the other 10 classic polk speakers in my Volvo Station Wagon

Marine Quality Sub (needed for my open air Jeep) Very tight bass
Weaknesses:
None that I have found
Review:
I'm very pleased with this sub. Very tight bass in a Jeep, which is hard to do (Jeeps with rag tops aren't sealed) All in all, I'm happy with the way this sub sounds. I bought it because it's supposed to be "marine" quality. So, I'll be sure to let you know how it holds up in my Jeep.

durability and sound quality
Weaknesses:
none so far
Review:
replaced 2 10" mb quarts with 2 10" polk db104dvc.I noticed immediately a much tighter and smoother response than the mb quarts.Im running .76 cu.ft. per sub sealed and i'm impressed with the clarity and depth, plus these are the most durable subs iv'e ever had it would take a jackhammer to get through the cone.

Polk quality, top notch. Nice plain look.
Weaknesses:
Not that it needs more power handling, but it would add more versatility if it took more juice.
Review:
I have had one of these in a sealed enclosure for about 8 months now, hands down one of the best 10" performers I have ever had. These are built like a tank, and they dont need a ton of power to drive like crazy. POLK QUALITY.
