Review: Looks good and great features/sound for the price - This sub is great for the price. Get it on black friday and save some money. Most of the equivalent subs of this size are 300+ bucks. A little misleading though, measuring from the edge of the rubber from one side to the other side of the speaker is about 8 inches not including the 1/4 in area for the screw holes. So to me this is more of a 8” sub and overall is the size of yamahas 8” sub. Not complaining though, i do like the more compact size as subs used to have huge heavy boxes in the past. This one says 23lbs so not bad overall. Its your typical black vinyl veneer look and comes with power cord and instructions. Basic controls are power switch, phase switch, volume, low pass filter and the lfe or stereo rca jack inputs. Most people will like the phase switch at 0 as it matches their other speakers phase, but i say try both ways and see what you like. Thats it and its simple and perfect for entry level sound systems. You will need a sub cable which is a single rca male to rca male. Im using it for my computer and have a douk ampapa 300w amp with upgraded muses 02 opamps and sony cs5s that i purchased a few black fridays ago at a great price. The ampapa amp has a mini 3.5 jack output and using the polk lfe rca input. The polk has an adjustable low band filter so will cross this sub over at about 80hz as to me thats the cleanest sounding xover point. Anyways, overall if you want a lower cost decent sound for your stereo or even computer or tv, this setup is great for a small to medium size room. Review for height monitor x190, got these on black friday as well. I have 6 wharfedale diamond bookshelfs and center with a sub for my main tv hooked up to my onkyo rz50. It has outs for atmos height so after reading reviews got this on black friday sales. Overall a very simple maybe 3 inch full range driver in an angled mdf box. It has a nice grayish color grill and speaker posts that accept wire or banana plugs so simple install. I need to se up my dirac live settings then will update review. Other then that. Speaker looks fine in quality but super simple design so get them on sale.
Review: Incredible Value, Very Impressed! - One word, value. I have an SVS-1000 and I get similar bass quality from this Polk XT10. I’ve been very impressed with this sub. Fits perfectly under the desk, works perfect with my NXZT pc speakers. Excellent power, ease of setup, sound quality, range, durability, and looks modern and professional. Love Polk. My main living setup has been Polk for years now. You go Polk!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does anyone know why it has 2 sets of wire inlets on each speaker? Normally it's one set black and red....**
A: The 2 sets of speaker 5 way binding posts are for bi-wires or bi amps if you remove the bridges so you can by-pass the speaker cross-over. It's a waste of time and money since you will need an external cross-over.  I wouldn't bother with it at this price point.
They are as good as you can get for the price.

**Q: Does anyone know if i can get new lids for these speakers? one of the lids broke, and i am very ocd about keeping my speakers slick**
A: I blew a tweeter, called Polk, and provided my purchase receipt and answered a few questions and a replacement was in my mailbox free of charge in less than 10 days. Give them a call... You've got nothing to lose.

**Q: how many ohms and watts are they**
A: These are 8 ohms, and they can handle 25 to 150 watts. I love these speakers. A good bargain at $150.  They sound smooth and mellow right out of the box. I would buy them again.

**Q: Q: Are these sold as a pair or the price is for a single speaker? RE: Polk Audio AM4095-A Monitor 40ii sold by Amazon for $144.99**
A: I can't speak for all the other sellers but my listing is for a pair of speakers unless otherwise noted in the description

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Speakers For The Price
*by A***Y on December 27, 2025*

These are my second set of Polk "Tower" speakers. The first set are multiple 6 1/2" drivers which I use for home theater front surrounds. Look: These are high quality. They sound fantastic. But (IMHO) they are basically large bookshelf speakers. In a small room, they have great definition and I think the pair of passive radiators improve bass immensely compared to a single ported enclosure woofer/driver. But look, a large room and loud volumes, need way more than a 6 1/2" speaker. It isn't a quality or spec issue - it's physics. Speakers move air and the amount of air they can move is directly related to speaker size. For the money, Polk speakers are a value. However, choose according to room size and intended listening levels. Small speakers (Under 8") work well in small rooms. Small speakers work for quiet volume levels. In terms of quality and fit for purpose, would buy again. - - - Having said all of this, would these speakers and a decent Center Channel Speaker be a Home Theater improvement over a sound bar. Absolutely.
