Just bought a brand new (at least, never used) subwoofer from an SRT system based on all the reviews for the SRT system, but I can't find much info on the sub itself. Anyone have the specs for it and what would be the equivalent sub in Polk's current sub lineup?

Paid less than $500 for the sub from craiglist, which seemed like a good price, but I wasn't really sure. What do you guys think?

    Might need a crossover for it though

    Thanks for the specs. I played with it a little bit today, just plugging it into my existing receiver/amp and it rocked the couch. I did notice that it was only kicking in at the very low frequencies. I guess I'll have to play with it some more before I know if I need a seperate crossover.

    If you're using the receiver's crossover for HT and music, you don't need a separate crossover.

    The SRT subwoofer the most explosive subwoofer I've ever heard....

    It was almost uncomfortable to be in the same room with it...

    If Polk could do that subwoofer design in an actual subwoofer design - I'd buy it for HT in a heart beat...

    PHENOMINAL attack

    They can, they just haven't.....yet. The new DSW series is miles above their older subwoofers and the next couple rounds of more advanced subwoofers are pretty tight as well. The MicroPro is making its rounds on a local demo and is a blast to play with.

    I don't see anything that will unseat my SVS Ultra/2....but I'm not embarrassed to have a Polk subwoofer in my house anymore. In addition, the in-wall subwoofers are very effective and I'm sure the GA Polkfest attendees can attest to that fact.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    The Sub Inwalls were PHENOMINAL

    definitely wouldnt be embarressed to have those - they missed the very very last octaves, but they had the SLAM...

    I'll be keeping my eye on some Polk subs for HT...
