Hey guys.
Some of you know, I'm unemployed. I was on short-term disability for two weeks prior to my layoff, and so I've gone from making my already-tight 100% wage, to 60%, to a scanty 48% of my original wage.
So the question I'm about to pose may seem a little... irresponsible.
BUT I won $500 in the Hitmaster Tshirt comp (who is the grandprize winner! Where are you, you-better-than-me-at-designing-tshirts so-and-so!) and I have to spend it on Polk gear. (Poor, poor me!)
That said... I love my 11TL's and want to keep them for as long as possible. I love my PSW350 as well (yes, it came as part of a surround system, but it rawks for my space).
This is what I was thinking, and I'd like to hear some opinions:
Additional Sub (PSW110)
Center Channel (CS 10)
You can see the gear I have in my sig.
What do you guys think?

Thanks! I hope things get better soon too. But that goes without saying.
I've been keeping busy applying for jobs and sending our mailers. So I hope I find a little something soon.
But I can get that sub and that center channel.
Or should I get the center channel and upgrade my surrounds and forget the sub? The PSW 110's specs don't look as good on paper as my current PSW350 and while I'd like the idea of dual subs, if they don't "play well together" I don't want to waste the money. And my bass (for the space) isn't hurting in my system.
Are all the opinionated guys and gals at work?

I played around with 2 PSW10's for awhile and it was a nightmare to get to identical subs to play nice.Polk Audio Surround Bar 360

Congratulation on the win! I also look forward to see what you have designed. I hope you find good working conditions soon!Hey guys.

I own the PSW110 and it is a decent sub however, I am not too sure it would blend properly with your current PSW350 plus you seem to be satisfied with your bass anyway. Do you have a deadline for spending your Polk $$$? If not or if within a year, why don't you hold on and wait till you make your mind on some you will actually need/use?
Odd, 2 sub with the same specs should blend easily, doesn't it? You also realize the PSW10 and PSW110 have quite different specs?Knucklehead wrote: »I would get the center and the surrounds.

LOL!
I think I'll let Polk do that... After all, I'm not sure which one they picked and what color shirt they'll be putting it on.
So I guess I'm pretty stoked to see it too!
I do want to see the grand prize winner's shirt as well... and the second-place too... I'm sure they all rock!

sorry about your job situation. but congrats on the T-shirt design win. that's very cool.
I'd spend the $$ on a sub.. I had the 350 as my first sub.. and it was fine for a while..nothing to write home about.... but Polk Audio makes better subs now..;) so get the biggest, baddest sub you can from Polk. PolkFest 2012, who's going>?
