Polk Audio MM1040

Nice slim design sub!

I installed one of these in a truck an made a sealed box for it, and it sounded great! The quality was good, and for a slim sub woofer it hit hard. If you compare this slim design sub with others in its price range, you will see its rms power, sensitivity, and frequency response, is on average better. Great value, would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Great Sub

The polk mm1040s replaced my jl 10w3s due to coils being burnt. I have to say the polks are louder and sound better than jl 10w3. I was skeptical at first due to jl's high quality and repetition. I tried the polk because their sensitivity rating was 7 points higher so i tried them. Now I believe I'm a polk fan. Just awesome subs!

excellent build quality.

i bought these, and would recommend them to anybody who wants a very well built sub for a very decent price. Sound is great out of a small enclosure, goes low, hits hard, everything i was expecting and more.

Packs a punch, and crystal clear

I've been running the MM1040 for 6 months now, and am always impressed with how powerful it is, while maintaining the clean sound Polk Audio is known for. I've since replaced all of my stock speakers with Polk Audio db Series speakers, and will stick with these from now on. I also love the clean look these subs have, what's with the cheesy deformed look of most subs these days? I get a ton of compliments on this sub.

Don't push them with a real amp, they aren't 350 watts RMS.

Have had a MTX 6500D for over 10 years. Rated at under 700watts rms from a factory bench test with a birth certificate like any good amp would, perfect match for two of these or so I thought. I was lied to about these subs RMS, I was lied to about the warranty by both Polk and Sonicelectronics. They consider it "physical abuse" to run these subs anywhere near their rated watts. They should be responsible for the subs and the amp that was collateral damage, but its easier to just lie to people. These are the qualities that you get from a low price retailer and a poor persons brand like Polk. Tried to be thrifty just once, never owned Polk before and it bit me. Back to the name brands in audio that don't come with a made in china sticker. Sonicelectronics offered me a "discount' on another item as "goodfaith". Yeah right, maybe if I go broke and can't afford a better retailer that backs up their products and their words like "One year warranty"

Pretty Potent Subs!

Cannot beat these Polk MM Series subs for the price and power handling. Would be more dynamic if installed in a slightly larger enclosure however due to space limitations in my vehicle, Can't quite get the wider range I was hoping for. Other than that, they are awesome!

Good sound quality

Have this sub running off a Crunch 500.2 and it sounds great, could use at least 100 watts more to push it but it's doing fine.

It hits some very distinguishable notes not noticed in 12" subs, it would be better to have range of bass than just the one, as 12" only allots for deeper notes and not some of the higher bass notes some music can utilize.

Got this hooked-up in a F150 and the sound resonates near perfect, plenty of room behind the seat so I could either purchase another to complement or get another range of bass with 8's or a 12, or both.

All in all 10" sub for this price is a good deal, will be looking up more Polk audio products here.

Great Sound for Size

I recently came out of a Honda Accord with two 12" subs in the trunk, and moved into a Truck. I didn't want to lose my back seats so I was forced to downsize my speakers to 10" subs that would fit under my seat. For having as shallow of a mount as these speakers do, they sound really good and i am very pleased with the sound. Of course they don't catch the same lows as 12" do but they definitely do their job!

Great sound quality

I have 2 of these in a sealed box. I waited a few weeks to break them in a bit before I wrote a review. They have a tight, clean, crisp sound to them. They go pretty low as well. They will get louder after about 40 hours of play time. I've already heard a difference. My mirrors shake like crazy. If you want sound quality but don't want to spend JL Audio prices then these are for you.

Excellent Sound for the Buck

This woofer was easy to install and the sound out of it is fantastic. Only wish they would include the grill as you have to purchase that seperate.
