Polk Audio GXR10 Subwoofers

Polk Audio GXR10 Subwoofers 

DESCRIPTION

This well-made subwoofer furnishes plenty of bass without sapping your wallet! The affordable Polk GXR10 features a poly-mica composite cone that's tough enough to withstand environmental extremes, yet light enough to reproduce your favorite bass notes quickly and accurately.

A treated foam surround helps to provide a smooth cone travel path — and smooth bass. A vented pole piece dissipates built-up heat for distortion-free sound. This woofer does its best work in a small sealed box. You'll appreciate the tight bass and the price tag.

Strength:

Don't distort too much when volume is high

Weakness:

where to start, poor bass quality, don't reproduce deep bass, and very very selective in what enclosure it is in. not just sealed vs ported, but also the size of a sealed box.

Well i bought them because my old mtx's foam surround broke down due to the climate use and age. I got them because they were a bargain at 80$ for a pair and i heard only good things about polk. Unfortunately, i can't say that it was a good decision. I was running them off a punch 100 2channel before, initially in a ported box. The subs really REALLY didn't sound very good in that configuration. I then put them in a sealed box. They did sound better sealed, but they totally lack any deep bass. They just seem 2 hit pretty high and hard.... almost what u'd expect out of a 6x9. I then got a more powerfull amp a punch 400s. I thought that would make a difference..... but the sq was still poor as it was before. They did get louder, and i'll give em 1 thing, they don't distort too much when it's loud. SQ i'd say is slightly better when the vol is high. Ocerall i wouldn't buy these subs again (prob why they are discontinuing them)
