This SW will dramatically improve your listening experience.
Leslie from Port St Lucie, FL on 8/6/2023
This SW is a BEAST! Our system is located in a 27 x 30 room and we had to adjust the volume downward to prevent it from shaking the pictures off our walls. That's a slight exaggeration, but we seriously can't use it at more than 30% volume. To be clear, it's also a very clean and deep bass. It's a serious upgrade from my previous SW.
Pros: Deep, clean bass response Modern design
Cons: The physical dimensions are a bit large for our space

Solid Sound
Scott Edward from Apo, AE on 6/8/2023
I have enjoyed a JBL PB 10 powered sub which was paired with JBL Control One speakers. Over the years, I replaced the mains with Polk Audio (current Blackstone TL 350) after upgrading car speakers. After 22 years, the sub's internal amp has begun to emit a thump sound and I turned to Polk Audio and Crutchfield once again. Crutchfield shipped out the sub quickly and I was pleased with the sub design. Swapped out the older sub and kept approximately the same size enclosure. The sub shares the same bass "Power Port" that the Blackstones have built in. I am running a 5.1.2 setup and the sub seamlessly took over low end duties. I immediately noticed the sound difference with effortless bass that flowed from the HT 10 without muddying up the other speakers or negatively affecting dialogue. In fact, those speakers seem to be performing much better and the sound stage is more apparent. The HT 10 emits a solid, authoritative, and tight bass sound that is felt, especially with movies and gaming. It is such more enjoyable sound that does not fatigue your ears.
Pros: Outstanding sound Attractive design
Cons: I want another one!

Nice sound, large foot print
Mitch from Foster City, CA on 3/13/2023
Tried this sub out with several pair of bookshelf speakers. And compared to KEF Cube 10 sub. The HTS10 sounded great for music, for my ears, at half volume. I suppose if you really like bass, you might turn it up. Despite having 1/3 the RMW wattage of the KEF, it was able to give a lot more punch. I also felt the bass we cleaner and produced more than adequate rumbling for an average size home theater room. However, the HTS10 is quite large and ultimately I've decided to try some smaller units.

Polk Audio HTS 10
Ryan from ALPENA, MI on 2/28/2023
I originally only purchased one of these subwoofers to tie into a full Polk TSI system and it brought a tremendous amount of life to the system. I now own 3 of these HTS10 subwoofers and would highly recommend buying them for any system. Great in a home theater setup and just a music listening setup.

Great looking, Good Sounding, Low-Priced Sub
James from Commerce Twp, MI on 1/23/2023
I needed a small subwoofer to add some bottom to a pair of bookshelf speakers I use to listen to music in my home office and the Polk Audio HTS 10 fit the bill nicely. I listen to primarily to Hi-Res streaming sources through a Denon amp and Polk Audio L200 speakers. Truthfully, the speakers themselves are fantastic, but the sub fills in the missing frequencies in the low end quite well. I know it's primarily a home theater sub, and I'm confident it would do well in a small-mid-sized room (my office is small, about 15' x 15') but it does well with music, too, at least in this environment. I tend not to listen to music very loudly when I work, so I can't tell you whether it'll rattle the pictures off the walls, but it does produce a nice clean bass that I can both hear and feel, whether I'm listening to a plucked stand-up bass passages, or music filled with fast and heavy kick-drums. I wish it had high-level inputs, but that's not how most people are going to use the sub, and at this price point, it's not easy to find a good sub with one. The dark walnut finish also makes it one of the best looking subs I've seen (though it's a darker hue than that on the L200s, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a match).
Pros: Incredible Looks, Phenomenal Price, Good for Music, too
Cons: No High Level Inputs

Great rich sound - a quality upgrade!
Ron from Estes Park, CO on 12/5/2022
I bought the HTS 10 to upgrade my system with a subwoofer that was a better match for my Polk Audio S35/S15/S10 speakers. I was replacing a 27 year old NHT SA-1/SW1P sub-woofer system (separate amp and 8" speaker). The better 'bottom' of the HTS 10 was immediately apparent. It is more than the larger speaker, but the design of that bottom port which really works well in our living room and seemingly spreads the sound more evenly. I changed the crossover levels of the S35 and S10's to 100 MHz so the subwoofer gets the lower tones from those small 3" (S35) and 4"speakers (S10). I'm getting the best out of my Sony DN-1040 AVR now!
Pros:
Cons: I had to get into my crawlspace in order to get cable in place to the HTS 10 position in the room. (RCA/f-type keystone wall jack - RG6 cable thru crawlspace - f-type/RCA keystone wall jack).

Darryl from COMPTON, CA on 10/7/2022
I love this sub. I purchased a Sony subwoofer before this, and it just didn't have the sound I was looking for even though, they were almost the same as far as price, size and ambridge. So a friend of mine has this Polk Audio HTS 10. Once I heard it, I knew I had to have it. Now I have that sound I was looking for when I'm watching movies at home. I would definitely recommend this product.

Steve from Syracuse, NY on 6/28/2022
Great sound so far - connected to my Yamaha RX-A1000 receiver - https://www.crutchfield.com/S-BxeLGmcSS3X/p_022RXA1000/Yamaha-RX-A1000.html . 2 Monitor60C Series II , 2 Monitor40 Series II , and a CS10 Center round out the speakers. I had a PSW110 that crapped out the amplifier board after it was out of warranty... replaced the board with one from a clearance model (scratch and dent) and that one crapped out after less than 2 years. The 1st one would make this crackling sound, and the second one had this faint heartbeat sound. The reason I mention this, is that I hope this has a more superior and reliable amplifier board. It looks different on the outside, no idea about the inside. I love the look and sound so far - let's hope this is the last sub I ever have to buy ... unless I want to add a second one !!

Nice upgrade
Crutchfield customer from Chagrin Falls, OH on 12/23/2021
This sub was the last piece of my Polk Signature setup, it replaced a PSW10. The PSW10 is fine for an entry-level sub, but the HTS10 is definitely a notable upgrade. The bass is now cleaner and tighter sounding, gives a more solid bass drum "thump" while listening to music. I noticed a fuller rumble during movie action sequences, but not overpowering..more controlled, not boomy or muddy. I anticipate not having turn the volume up and down so much during movies. A good fit for a smaller family room.
Pros: Cleaner sound
Cons: None

Speaker Quit Turning On
Crutchfield customer from Summerville, SC on 10/3/2021
I am reiterating the other 1 star review for this speaker. After working well for a few months, I noticed that the speaker would just stay in standby mode after the entertainment center was turned on. I would flip the power switch off and back on and that seemed to get the speaker to work (although I shouldn't have to do that). Tonight I noticed that it turned itself off even while the entertainment center was on. When the speaker was working well before it started misbehaving, I'd give this speaker a 5 star review. It sounds wonderful but not so great when there is no noise coming from the speaker. I'm now trying to make a warranty claim. Stuff goes wrong for every company. I don't hold a grudge for that. I'm now trying to make a warranty claim. Depending on how easy the warranty claim is, I'll be happy to revise my review way up. We'll see how it goes.

Beautiful, rich bass
Crutchfield customer from Ashburn, VA on 5/10/2021
Wow, this adds beautiful, rich bass to my overall home theater setup. I thought my setup sounded great with the Polk S35 center channel speaker and Polk TSi 500 front speakers. But adding this absolutely filled out the overall sound. In my room, which is about 20' by 18', this subwoofer can be overpowering. You just need to adjust the volume to your taste. I'm glad I got the 10" instead of the 12" for my room. More than enough.

Great product!
Crutchfield customer from Reidsville, NC on 3/9/2021
I selected this sub-woofer after trying several different ones from Klipsch. I am using it with the Polk S50's as my front mains with Polk S15 rears. This sub has a very warm sound and really balances out my system (seems a perfect match for the S50's) in producing accurate source reproduction. The Klipsch products had solid, deep bass but had too much "chest punch" at lower volumes for my liking. The Polk produces deep, smooth, accurate bass at low volumes without the "chest punch". This is best for me since I live in an apartment and wanted to be considerate of my neighbors! Note: it can punch hard if you desire by cranking up the volume! The HTS 10 also has the best auto-on feature of any sub I have auditioned. It is more sensitive to input and waits about 20 minutes before going to stand-by mode so it does not turn off during pauses or commercials! The HTS 10 performs very well for all my needs and I feel it is a great product at this price point. I find it perfect for both music and home theater.

Polk Audio Speakers Rock!
Crutchfield customer from Lakeside, CA on 2/17/2021
Okay, so I never write reviews but Polk and Crutchfield are deserving. This new 5.1 system started with my girlfriend asking if we could get rid of the big ol' Polk towers that I've had for 20-something years. I took the bait when she offered to help "sponsor" the new gear. So out with the pretty cool RTi100's with the powered subwoofers built in, the R50 rears, and the impressive CSi5 center. The first new Polk gear was the S20 bookshelf speakers for the fronts, along with the S30 center channel speaker. I'm no pro audiophile but I was stoked with the performance from this gear that was much more attractive and compact than what it replaced. Really crisp, clean sound that is the hallmark of all the Polk equipment I've had over the years...mostly in cars and RVs. The more power from the Onkyo tx rz810 receiver I dialed up, the more impressive the response. These "baby" speakers can handle the power! The rear S15 bookshelf speakers arrived a few days later and helped to fill in the room with true 5.0 sound. But then I started reading reviews about the HTS10 subwoofer. Basically rave reviews. I bit the bullet and ordered the 35 pound badboy. It was an easy install and setup, and Wow! What a way to finish off a great 5.1 system. As others mentioned, the bass gets filled in and a rich, warm, satisfying room full of sound is delivered. Our room is 20x20 and no problem filling it. Easy sub volume adjustment too!
Pros: Crutchfield and Polk are a great combo. Nuff said!
Cons: Nope.

Painful reality
Crutchfield customer from Watkinsville, GA on 1/27/2021
After a few days of owning this sub I noticed it sometimes wouldn't turn on, it stayed in standby mode (not sure if my rec does DC on). A couple more days later it randomly went from on to standby (while listening) and when on didn't produce any sound. I've been a very happy Polk customer until this and a useless experience with Sound United regarding a part for an old PSW 111 that failed after nearly a decade. If the replacement HTS 10 Crutchfield sends performs flawlessly for at least a couple years I will have to update this review. As far as sound quality from the HTS 10 when it was functional; wonderful, very precise and smooth with many types of music and cinema in a larger than average living room. Hopefully, the next one will break in and I can get a better feel for its overall performance. As expected, Crutchfield did an outstanding job handling my disappointing product experience and I should have the replacement soon.
Pros: Sound capability, looks really good, failed quickly (instead of just beyond return cutoff lol)
Cons: Unit failed, maybe/hopefully I got a rare lemon

Music wholeness with a sub
Crutchfield customer from Lake Oswego, OR on 12/25/2020
We have some Polk ceiling speakers in the living room, which sound very good for ambient listening, but the addition of this sub, while streaming through our new Bluesound Node2i, with its "sub out" mono port, makes the wholeness of the music come to life. The volume is a little tricky to dial in just right, but one can achieve a good balance with a little trial and error. Highly recommended, especially for the money. Crutchfield very patiently helped me get all these things running in sync, not totally straightforward, but that is why I choose Crutchfield for these hardware purchases. Customer support is as good as it gets.

Room filling bass at a budget friendly price.
Crutchfield customer from Everett, WA on 11/11/2020
I replaced my 25 year old 8" Yamaha subwoofer with this Polk Audio HTS 10... This sub has ample power and provides a great depth of lows for my entertainment space. It took a bit to fine tune the Lowpass and volume level so it fills in without overpowering the space... this sub will rattle the windows and kitchen cabinets! Crutchfield made this an easy decision by clearly documenting dimensions as well as features. The sale price and $25 credit towards my purchase for choosing a more relaxed shipping date was what really clinched the deal.
Pros: Easy to install Budget friendly Looks great

Polk Audio HTS 10 or 12 - Good choice for subwoofer
Crutchfield customer from Ames, IA on 9/14/2020
The Polk Audio HTS 10" subwoofer is nice size to fit a smaller space. I purchased to replace a slightly smaller Definitive Technology 600 subwoofer and which was producing a continual buzzing sound. Tried different approaches to fix "the buzz" new cord, filter, eventually giving up and replacing with the Polk Audio HTS 10 which solved the problem and provides great lows. I have two subs (Polk Audio HTS 10 &12) on my home theater 7.2 system. The 10" fits a spot where the 12" could not fit. I have the 12" in the opposite corner where more room was available. Great bass sound that blends nicely with the satellite speakers. Cabinets (black walnut) are attractive and easy to keep clean. I like the curved edges.

Polk Audio HTS 10
Crutchfield customer from Galloway, OH on 5/21/2020
Crisp clean sound, perfect for a smaller space. Bass is full, warm, and sounds great on TV, Digital music, and vinyl records. This sub is a great compliment to my Polk tower speakers and manages to not over power them even in a small (10' x 14') space with hard floors.

Simply Impressed!
Crutchfield customer from Arecibo, PR on 5/17/2020
I have a Sony 7.1 surround sound system with the in-wall wiring set-up in the family room. The room is quite large measuring 17' by 23' so, in addition to the 7 speakers around the room to manage the mid to hi frequencies, determining the right powered subwoofer was critical. After careful review, I selected the Polk HTS 10 powered subwoofer. This model has the appropriate low frequency range to provide just the right amount of bass to complement the entire dynamic range of audio frequencies of all the speakers combined without an overpowering presence. What truly is impressive is the unit's ability to manage the full spectrum of low frequency sounds in movies providing smooth sound quality with the right punch and delivery. And what is even as impressive is the unit's ability to provide well balanced bass sounds when playing back music in all formats ( vinyl, cd's and audio streaming). This in my experience is achievable in the higher-end subwoofers. I am truly impressed with the HTS 10 and am sure you will be also.
Pros: Balanced sound, just the right punch and presence, attractive, well built, quality and price point.
Cons: Doesn't have any.

Great sub
Eric from Bronx, NY on 5/17/2020
purchased this sub to add to a pair of Polk signature S35. Once connected and set up you could hear and feel the difference with the sub taking care of the lows the mids and highs were clearer. There was a definite improvement.
Pros: good lows . Nice size
Cons: None so far

Much better than my old Polk Subwoofer
Crutchfield customer from San Diego, CA on 5/3/2020
Upgraded from the PSW303 which lasted nearly 20 years. My older Polk had a slight buzz, likely due to grounding issues. This unit does not have this issue and sounds so much better. The new air port design seems to do its job and is easier to clean as well. Shout out to Mac and Crutchfield for their help in troubleshooting and guiding me through the options!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner, Yet Again!
Crutchfield customer from Culver City , CA on 4/30/2020
As with all of my past Polk purchases, the HTS 10 has proven to be a superbly designed, solid performer. The HTS 10 is part of my computer sound system and it performs flawlessly whether I'm gaming or listening to my eclectic music collection. The power this little fella puts out is quite impressive. You'd think it's much more powerful than the listed 100 watt rating. I have mine tucked away under a table but the rich walnut finish, fine cloth speaker cover, and metal Polk accent make it easy on the eyes. But the cherry on top, of course, is Crutchfield's speedy delivery. I know I sound like a commercial but I've had nothing but great experiences with Crutchfield. Two Denon receivers and multiple Polk speakers later, you can call me a spokesman. I'm good with that. Ok, back to the HTS 10. Grab one while you can. You easily get your money's worth.
Pros: A solid, compact, and attractive subwoofer that will fit in just about any sound system.
Cons: You apparently don't have one yet if you're reading this.

Polk HTS 10 Delivers!
Carl from El Paso, TX on 3/20/2020
This is the second Polk subwoofer I've owned and it's a marvelous piece of audio engineering. There's more then enough power to let you feel the music, but not overpower the listener. I listen to a broad range of music from string quartets to acoustic jazz to electric Jazz Fusion (Dennis Chambers drums sound amazing) as well as movie audio playback. Acoustic bass is one of the most difficult musical instruments to mic and record. During playback, if not recorded well, it can sound hollow and midrange prominent. The HTS 10 handles the acoustic bass with just enough authority so most recordings, especially Blue Note Jazz records that have been engineered by Rudy van Gelder, have a much more full and dynamic range. The HTS 10 is paired with a pair of Kef Q500 towers and fed by a Yamaha A-S801 integrated amp with a dedicated subwoofer out that goes to the HTS 10 LFE input. The sound is fantastic.
Pros: Powerful and smooth sounding with easy adjustments. Beautiful visual design elements.
Cons: None.

Pros: Good clean crisp bass. Nice size cosmetically appealing cabinet.
Cons: Heavy as $^@!*. Direction documents doesn't really explain how to set the switches and volumes to the optimal types of bass needed. I'll be call Crutchfield for some tuning help.

Cons: occasionally (2x) did not auto-on

Good Build, Average output for a 10 inch.
Greg from Owasso, OK on 9/2/2018
I gave this 4 stars after using this sub for about 1 month. It's fully broken in and my verdict is in. I have owned around 15 subs and currently use 4 in my home now. This Polk has a better sound then most of the choices they offer. Most of Polk's subs pop when powered to a true home theater experience. This HTS 10 exceeds the others. It doesn't pop when driven hard and produces low sound waves that are acceptable. BUT: It would work in a very, very small home theater system or buy 2 of them. It can't support a living room home theater if you are looking to really feel it. It will not throw enough long waves to feel very well. It does fill the void in the lower bands with front speakers that are in need of lows that you can hear. I would get the 12" if you can afford it. Low impact in a large room and I have added additional sub that I already owned to cover the issue of this one not hitting the extreme lows that you feel in your seat in a meaningful manner. I tuned it to cover up the lows up to 60 to help my towers. My sub added will hit you in the chest like a heartbeat and tuned to only add up to 32. The build quality is good. It comes on automatically better than most. It doesn't pop when action hits hard like many other of Polk's subs do. The Power Port really doesn't add as much as it looks and said in the material I read. The bottom of the sub is NOT smooth. It has grooves and has to be lifted to move, it will not simply slide like most.
Pros: Not for medium or large rooms. Doesn't pop in peak sounds of movies or music. Auto on works better than most subs. Good value for the money. Maybe if I bought a 12 inch it would have been a 5 star.
Cons: Bottom is grooved and will not move unless lifted to move or adjust position. Will not provide a low sound wave in a medium room that you can feel very well. I had to add my 12 inch Cerwin Vega to get the low end to hit you in the chest.

Good product. Kind of lacking "finish"
Neil from Indianapolis, IN on 8/8/2018
Sounds great and looks nice. Was looking for a sub with a wood finish so that made me not consider some other brands . A little larger than what I expected. Was disappointed that it didn't include RCA cables. I think if it was Audioengine, they would have packaged things a little better. They could probably take some pointers from Audioengine. If you spend this much on a speaker it should include cables.
Pros: Good sound and nice looking.
Cons: No extras or cables beyond power cable.

Great Sub
Steve from Harrisburg, PA on 6/9/2018
I was looking for bass enhancement for my recently purchased Polk RTiA7 speakers. When I ordered the speakers in April l also ordered a Polk PSW110 which was backordered until 5-30 and then further backordered until 9-24. I cancelled that order and chose to order the HTS 10 instead. The HTS 10 provides smooth bass that can be heard and felt and is capable of window rattling thunder if so desired, as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Would recommend without hesitation.
Pros: Clean , powerful bass. Aesthetically pleasing. Easy connection and setup.
Cons: None

Shakes the pictures BUT
Raymond from West Bend, WI on 1/4/2018
Overall nice sub, looks really nice and sounds good BUT it misses on the lower end bass. Listening to a song or watching a movie and it hits that low bass it struggles. For normal listening its great but if your picky and would notice this may find another sub. I don't have another sub to compare so this may be normal for a 10", it does shake my pictures on the wall and can get very loud.
Pros: Looks great, overall good sound, can get loud
Cons: misses on the lower end bass
