    Hey,

    I read today that Polk announced their new 808 to replace the 650. It has optional colours so that it will match the LSI series as well.

    afi the velo is a good sub alot beter than the polks . dont get me wrong polk makes a great speaker but their subs just are not worth the bills. the nearest high end shop from me is at least 45 min away and they have a real big mark up. that is y i havent gone there. plus i will have all the bass i need and if i want more i will just buld another sub.


    ali if you want a cht 12 you can get my ct 120 for a steal. if you want to sell it later beacues you want to upgrade you will get allmost all you investment back. after the inital drop for a speaker it usaly dont drop unless you dammage it .

    Polk Audio Introduces PSW808 Powered Subwoofer
    Web Posted: 01/06/2003 3:52 PM ET
    Baltimore, MD, January 6, 2003: Polk Audio has announced the introduction of the PSW808, a high-performance powered subwoofer that replaces the PSW650, which originally debuted in early 1999. The PSW808 features dual 10-inch drivers with high roll surrounds and two-inch voice coils mounting on opposing one-inch thick MDF baffles.

    The top, bottom, front, and back panels of the enclosure are finished in black high gloss laminate and the side panels are finished in either Cherry or Ebony-finish wood veneer, and the firm notes that the finishes and overall industrial design matches that of Polk’s Lsi Series loudspeakers.

    The system, which is vented via an all-new application of Polk’s patented Power Port that combines a slot-loaded port with a Power Port air diffusion device. The Power Port system, explains Polk, allows air exiting the port to slow gradually, thereby reducing air turbulence at the port mouth.

    A built-in 400-watt digital amplifier drives the system, featuring front panel volume and variable low pass controls, high pass filters, LFE input, phase switch, manual or auto on/off, speaker level inputs, and line level inputs.

    The firm notes that the PSW808 will be available in Canada in April 2003 at an MSRP of US$949.95.

    For more information, visit www.polkaudio.com.

    Developing twitch....must have..... :D:D:D

    I'll take one please.

    What does that price translate into in U.S. dollars? About $650?

    On the PSW650 page, it lists MSRP as $769, and it sells for $649.
    The PSW808 has an MSRP of $949, so I think it will sell for $799.

    Management is not responsible for poor math skills. ;)

    BTW Phuz, they have a US in front of the price in the article. Haha!
    I know you were excited lol
