The PSW111 Powered Subwoofer delivers powerful, accurate and musical bass at shockingly low prices. Built for power and value, the PSW111 represents a continuing refinement of the highly regarded PSW Series and a great introduction to visceral home theater bass performance. By using a state-of-the-art Klippel Distortion Analyzer, Polk engineers optimized the woofer's motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension for the best possible performance. A more powerful motor structure for a higher BL product,(the measure of the motive force applied to the cone) results in louder, deeper, and punchier bass. Its compact design is the perfect complement to Polk RM Series and SurroundBar loudspeakers.

great:
After some deliberation, I decided to buy this on Amazon rather than a couple of Polk's 10-inch versions. I heard it at BB and thought it was very tight and controlled. I listen almost exclusively to music and just wanted something to fill in the lower registers. This sub complements well my new Yamaha nx-e400 bookshelf speakers (another under-recognized bargain!), which supposedly go down to 55hz on their own. I set the crossover to about 85 hz and turned the volume on the sub to almost halfway, and this... more info
Polk Audio PSW1118 - subwoofer:
Great, I am fully satisfied with it. It is perfect for my room size. I am still in the process of refining my setup and I have no doubt that I will enjoy it.
little box, big boom:

Polk PSW111 8" sub packs punch in a small box:
I bought this used from amazon warehouse for about $30 less than a new one. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it other than it looked like an open box/returned item.

I love bass as much as the next guy, so if I had more cash and more room I might gotten a 12 incher, but it really wasn't needed for my room size anyway. As you can see from the pictures I added, I also have a Polk CS1 center and a Polk... more info
