Thanks a million. Had to modify my Polk PSW10 due to chuffing from a bad design plate placed on port inside. After fix it works great now as well. Considering getting one or two of these in the future as they're a fantastic value!

Thank you sir. That fixed it. I had the same problem, same model with the same port and I didn't want to take the sub out cuz it adds some awesome deep low frequencies into the mix. I like it better than my SVS PB1000.

Hey Ed. If you search Amazon for PL-200 II you should see it at $329, but it was $250 around the holidays, that's what I paid. My next sub is going to be a DIY setup, this was in my budget and is just to tide me over until I have budget for the DIY subs. However, this is a pretty nice piece. I think its supposed to be made in America from American and globally sourced components, so I'm sure its at least assembled in the USA. However, it looks like the guy who installs right-hand ports is going a bit light on the glue!

I should mention, soon after I got it up and running the driver blew. I did get a replacement driver from BIC, took about 2 weeks but its back up and running good. There are better/louder subwoofers out there for sure, but this sub sounds great for the money. I paid $250 for it and its the best sub you will find in that price range. I have a big room and it fills it nicely. I'll check out Lucy thanks for the tip!

What was the trick to getting the sub to come out from the enclosure? I have the same sub and the woofer needs to be replaced. I have the screws out holding the sub in, but it is still very much tight in the box.

@jevchance

Hrmmm not sure. Once I got the screws out, mine was pretty much ready to fall out. If you're replacing the woofer anyway, you could cut the cone out with a razor blade so you can grab the speaker by the basket.

I know u uploaded it long time ago but i have the same problem buy when i stick like 4 fingers into the port and put them on it then it stops so should i put silicone ?

@jevchance

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah its probably the same issue. When you put fingers in there you're applying pressure to the port which is probably sealing it up. Give it a try.

How can i reduce this in my car stereo system? My box is about 150 liters and port is 6 inches but its extended. If i remove the extencion the sub wont play low frequencys

@budgethometheaterandhifi

If you are using PVC for ports you could try purchasing a 6" flared port. If you're already using flared ports, you could try removing them and covering them with a rubberized coating to try to decrease the vibrations. You'll want to use something smooth like plastidip to avoid causing any air turbulence.

how did you find out what port was causing the issue? Was your port loose or what troubleshooting did you do to determine it was a port specific?

How the heck did you get the ports removed? I'm in the process of the same fix but cant get the ports out.

@jevchance

5 жыл бұрын

Well, they were loose and that was the problem, so all I needed to do was remove the driver and push them out from the inside. I didn't pull them all the way out, just enough to seal them and put them back. It should be safe to gently pound the back of the port towards you to get it to come out, if its missing the sealing glue then the only thing holding it in will be some compression.
