Yes I hooked the 2nd one up last night. Both are below the 50% volume. But it sounds more even. IDK how to explain it. It guess I can't pin point where the bass is coming from with 2 vs 1.

Is that because the polk is just not putting out any bass what so ever...

Totally just kidding man!!!

sure its putting out more than my sony HTIB pos...

No it fills the room w/2 vs knowing where the bass is localized. I like 2 =)

1 can shake the walls on max! lol

If you can get one more for a quad subwoofer setup, that would be ideal. One in each corner of the room that is. Use the third sub elsewhere or sell it if you want if you don't want to do that.

this is good to here, one of the things that erks me about this sub is that sometimes i can tell were the bass is coming from. i gotta jump on buying another one of these subs.

I have a question. Is it better to get a Y split cable or use the single sub-woofer cable to plug in to either the L or R?

From what I've gathered so far, and someone correct me if I'm wrong please, it sounds like if you use a Y-splitter and connect to the L and R filtered inputs, then you'll be "using" the crossover setting on your sub. If you use just the one RCA input (unfiltered), then it circumvents the crossover setting and you'll have to set your crossover via your receiver.

I also read from a Polk engineer (Kenneth Swauger) that the sound quality is not changed between inputs, however it will allow the sub to play louder.

EDIT: Oh ya, but the PSW10 doesn't have "filtered" and "unfiltered" inputs so the crossover setting stuff I was talking about doesn't apply. The part about the sub playing louder (no change in quality) is true though.

So it wouldn't matter.
