Review: I'm still breaking it in, but this sub thumps. It produces tight, clean bass in a sealed enclosure that's 1.5-ish cubic feet. It's also surprisingly compact, considering its diameter and power handling, which is nice (if you're into that sort of thing). Honestly, I've never been let down by Polk Audio. They may not make super high end gear, but their speakers always sound quite good and are consistent in both efficiency and build quality. They're like the hamburger of speakers, nothing fancy, but you know what you're getting and they're always satisfying.
Review: There is nothing I dislike about this sub , I have a thing for bass always have and I am switching up subs a lot … from My first and loudest setup yet 2polk Audio 10 ‘s (svc)4ohm ,that were years old and in a band pass box that weighed a ton I had no idea what I was getting myself into buying for 100 bucks from a buddy ..anyway it kicked off my hobby so back to the present as I swap out Skar, Rockford Fosgate, And Polk since I just bought this mm1 dvc 12 ,thinking of how much I loved my first ones and I’ll say with just 1 and it not being broke in quite yet I’m still impressed on how good it sounds and can produce quality sounding lows …Polk makes quality products for sure …got a 500x1D mono amp (Rockford Fosgate) @2ohms pushing it and it’s a great match …not too much but enough to satisfy my bass fix. Recommend this sub to anyone it’s for real … quality ….
