I am impressed by this subwoofer, I have had this subwoofer for nine months now and have watched alot of movies and listened to alot of music with it and I like what I have bought. I have got this subwoofer hooked up to a Sony STR-DH800 reciever by RCA Monster cable with a right and left splitter to connect to the subwoofer. Since there is no LFE input I turned the low pass just about all the way up and have got the phase set to 0. This makes enough bass to rattle things in the kitchen one room over, not to mention the picuters on the wall. The auto-on is nice, I have read that there is some lag time but I have not really noticed any. I am pleased with the Polk PSW10 subwoofer.
