Description

With the Polk Audio Monitor XT12, you can complete your surround setup. The subwoofer has the Power Port technology. This technology directs the airflow from the subwoofer to the ground, which reduces vibrations and distortion. That way, you can enjoy a deep bass with less white noise. The casing of the subwoofer contains wood plates from MDF with a detachable rack. This isolates the sound and reduces unwanted vibrations. The XT12 is suitable for using 2 subwoofers in a surround setup. In this case, you can use the subwoofers as a stereo pair for an equal distribution of the bass through the room.

Very happy with it

  • Good deep bass
  • Good price/quality
  • Gray grill

First ordered Kamp Sub210, was not satisfied with bass depth. Returned and ordered XT 12. What a relief compared to the Jamo, which seems like a dollhouse sub compared to the Polk. The Jamo will be sufficient for an apartment, but for anyone with a larger space or no neighbors, I think the XT12 is a much better choice.

Big size, big sound.

  • Bizarrely good bass, but take into account the placement in your room.
  • Lots of connections.
  • Nice and simple appearance.
  • It is bigger than I expected, read the measurements.

It is a fine device, large and very heavy, but you can also expect that with a subwoofer with deep bass.

powerful sub

  • goes quite low
  • room shakes
  • sufficient setting options
  • no

I have been using this sub for about 2 weeks now in combination with the Polk XT series. I first thought that for the price and wattage this sub has, it can never be much in return, but I was wrong what power this one has. I wish I had taken this sooner, I am now fully enjoying my films and music. The neighbors will also be happy when they delivered the box. I would say just buy it, you won't regret it if your budget is not that big and the room is medium. large, it easily fills it with tight, deep bass
