Hi all,

I'm putting together a much more powerful HT version 2, than my original HT v1.

I'll be using my new (to me) SDA SRS2 set as the front left and right. Using my new (to me) CS400 center that i just bought as a good timbre match to the SRS2. Polk sides and rears are there too, but irrelevant to this post.

I love my PSW450 subwoofer, but I want to run two subs in this new set up. So I need to match the 450 with another 450, but they are hard to find. Anybody have one they want to upgrade from and would be interested in letting it go?

I'm in Atlanta.

    The PSW450 is not that great a sub, so there's really no sense in adding a second one IMO. It only goes down to 35 Hz at -3db. Anyone know the low end of an SDA SRS 2? Polk lists it as 12Hz, but of course they don't specify the -3db. But you might actually get more bass if you were to bypass the sub and send the LFE channel to your fronts instead.

    While the 450 is good, 35hz is really nothing for home theater. The 450 probably provides plenty of oomph but not a lot of impact. A Polk PSW505 might be a better option. It digs a little deeper and has a more powerful amp. You could possibly sell the 450 to pay for the 505. And you still have the option of adding a second one if needed. Not to mention you'll be buying new so you'll have a warranty. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290130&Tpk=polk%20psw505&IsVirtualParent=1

    I should have thought more about the 450. I have a PSW10 upstairs in the TV system for the den. And the 450 just blows it away. So I just knew it was the best of the two and the one that would go to the new HT.

    It might make more sense to get a single 505 now, and then shop for a second down the road, knowing that finding the 505 would be easier to match than the old 450. Then put the 450 in the den... and sell the PSW10.

    Thanks for getting be out of the box and my blinders off.
