  • Sound great.
I’ve had a fair amount of subs that fall into this price range. And these Polk are amount the top for sound quality. Another plus is the mounting depth. It’s very shallow. But doesn’t perform as such. I would not hesitate to revamped these to people looking to get a respectable amount of spl. But do so with SQ being priority. I have them in a large sealed box. Almost think they could be a little better in a slightly smaller box. Maybe like 3 too 3.25cubes. For the pair. I think would be perfect. But I’m sure you could go smaller than that as well very solid smooth sound coming from the woofers. Great value subs. ... show more

  • Quality Control
There is nothing I dislike about this sub , I have a thing for bass always have and I am switching up subs a lot … from My first and loudest setup yet 2polk Audio 10 ‘s (svc)4ohm ,that were years old and in a band pass box that weighed a ton I had no idea what I was getting myself into buying for 100 bucks from a buddy ..anyway it kicked off my hobby so back to the present as I swap out Skar, Rockford Fosgate, And Polk since I just bought this mm1 dvc 12 ,thinking of how much I loved my first ones and I’ll say with just 1 and it not being broke in quite yet I’m still impressed on how good it sounds and can produce quality sounding lows …Polk makes quality products for sure …got a 500x1D mono amp (Rockford Fosgate) @2ohms pushing it and it’s a great match …not too much but enough to satisfy my bass fix. Recommend this sub to anyone it’s for real … quality …. ... show more

  • Says marine but works fine in car
Got this in Toyota Camry and it hits so clean. Polk is known to be a cleaner sounding bass and this did not disappoint. Would buy again.

  • Marine sub for weather resistant sono sub.
I used this to make a highly weather resistant sonosub outdoor subwoofer as the last element in my outdoor man cave. Was surprised at the output. Used an 18” plastic concrete forming tube lined with carpet underlay padding with a 220watt sub amp. The weatherproof characteristics of the driver lends itself well to this application. I actually had to turn the gain down as it over-powered my satellite speakers. Mission accomplished. The finishing touches to take it from a good to a great system. ... show more

  • Excellent Subwoofer
I paired this sub with two pair of Polk's MM652 Marine speakers in my ski boat, and the sound is outstanding. Not only at high volume, but at low volume too, the set provides a full range, including the lows thanks to this Subwoofer. I wired it at 2 ohms, and it really produces nice power.

  • Non returnable
I wasn't able to hook them up, they weren't gonna fit in my car the way I wanted them too, it was a custom install. Tried to return them & wasn't able too. Do now I've got 2 12" subs sitting in my closest & my pockets $160 lighter. & I've tried selling them & nothing. & I've bought a lot of Polk products, you would think they would cut me some slack & let me return them, no dice. Makes me wanna go with a different brand of speakers , which I've started doing. So they won't see anymore money from me. Little things like that ruin the entire companies product for me. ... show more
