A lotta sub in a little package.
I should state right off, that most audiophiles will probably agree with me that dedicated sub manufacturers like SVS and Hsu probably do a better job at producing really high-end sub-woofers than Polk, but holy cow, this really is a gem, particularly at this price and at this size. I can't believe the quality and volume this little cube that isn't much bigger than a 12 pack is able to produce. I have it placed in a fairly large room (20x25) and it can really fill the space, almost as well as the top of the line SVS (which is the size of a small fridge and not exactly pleasing to look at.)Though the cone itself is only 8" (albeit driven by a 1200W on-board amp), it really hits the good low rumbles below 40Hz. The smaller speaker size also allows the sound to be more punchy and responsive, not the boomy, muddy sound of some other subs. Whether or not you prefer that type of sound from your subwoofer is subjective, but personally, I like my explosions to, well, explode, not...

The Power of the "Invisible Cube"
This Polk Micropro 1000 is an upgrade that replaces my Onkyo subwoofer (Onkyo HTS790 HTIB). This Micropro 1000 is such a small sub, yet very powerful. It gives a very clean deep bass to the sound system for both music and movie. No, this sub does not output annoying "booming" sound like those cheap subs. My front speakers (Front:Polk Monitor 50's, Center: Polk Monitor CS2) don't have a good bass, but this Micropro 1000 enhances the bass powerfully in a way that you can't really tell if a sub is being used. Although small, this sub shakes the floor if turned on high volume. No distortion was detected during high volume testing. It came with a convenient remote control that can adjust volume and many other functions such as Power, mute, phase, LED...Heat dissipation is very good as described by Polk Audio. Unlike my Onkyo sub that gets warm to the touch during standby period, this sub is only warm during music or movie playing.If you are someone who have limited...

Product Description
The "no frills" version of the Polk Audio DSW MicroPro 2000, the DSW MicroPro 1000 does not have AutoPRO, glossy cabinet, IR or 12 volt input. But it keeps 100% of the sound quality and performance. You’ll be amazed of the quality of bass from this virtually invisible cube. Who should listen to the Polk DSW MicroPro series? Anyone looking for a large quantity AND quality of bass, from a compact enclosure. DSW MicroPro is suitable for any genre of music, and any style of movie. It works great for video games too. A unique inverted dustcap design gives the woofer an elegant look while eliminating the need for a grille. All these features add up for stellar subwoofer performance from a compact enclosure that can be hidden just about anywhere. Top to learn more
excellent sub for smaller home theater set up
I just received my Polk Micropro 1000 and I'm very satisfied with the product. It's small size compliments (my wife's!) our living/theater room area and fills out the space with great sounding, deep bass. I have it paired with Polk RTi10's (tower) and the CSi5 center channel. I like to hear my music and movies a bit loud and I blew my last sub, another 8" sub, about 2 weeks ago (watching "Cloverfield"). After lots of reviewing and searching I came across the Micropro 1000 and just knew it was going to be powerful enough to handle the amount of power I will be pushing through this little sub based on all the specs I've read. The volume maxes out at '40'. I wanted to push it a little so I set it there and experienced no distortion whatsoever. I lowered it to '35' and set the receiver accordingly and I'm in music and movie heaven. 2400 continuos watt handling is no joke. You could spend a little less for a bigger sub, but it will not be as aesthetically, or musically adept as this little...
