Designed for in-wall use; fits comfortably between
standard 16" OC (on-center) studs.
Single 10" diameter driver is the shallowest
subwoofer Polk has ever engineered.
Klippel Optimized Woofer—a state-of-the-art Klippel
Distortion Analyzer enabled our engineers to optimize
the woofer’s motor structure, voice coil alignment and
suspension for the best possible performance, with
low distortion, even at extreme listening levels.
Neodymium motor structure—made the sub’s shallow
depth possible without compromising performance.
Cast aluminum basket is rigid and as well as inert
to suppress resonance.
FITS BETWEEN STANDARD 16" OC STUDS
Massive 2" voice coil for high bass output and
high power handling.
Inverted roll surround—highly reliable design
maintains its “springiness” over time.
Dual spiders ensure linear excursion and prevent
the driver from bottoming out.
Rigid MDF Slot Ported Enclosure—the port cross
section runs the width of the grille.
Steel plate on the back of the cabinet stiffens the
enclosure for better performance.
15 1/2" x 17 1/2" perforated aluminum grille included.
All mounting hardware and isolation pads included.

KLIPPEL OPTIMIZATION
In order for a driver to reproduce complex sounds accurately, the cone must move
in exactly the same distance and manner in both directions of travel. If the cone moves
5 mm in the forward direction and only 4mm in the backward direction in response
to a given signal, the sound will be distorted. In order for the driver to move accurately
in both directions equal force must be applied to the cone and the cone must be able
to move as far and as freely in both directions. A Klippel Distortion Analyzer employs
a laser and sophisticated software to do large scale analysis of drivers in motion and
enables us to optimize the motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension to yield
polk
technology
the best possible performance.

CSW200
CSW100
For ultimate performance, there’s the CSW200, with a direct
radiating 10" driver in a 1.5 cubic foot slot load vented MDF
enclosure. The CSW200 produces robust bass down to the
lowest audible frequencies, thanks to its substantial size
and long-throw woofer. With its 12" x 12" grille, the CSW200
is for those who place a premium on performance over
size or unobtrusiveness.
The CSW100 becomes practically invisible in a ceiling
or a floor. It can also tuck away in an entertainment
cabinet or other furniture. A single 10" woofer plus
patented Polk Audio technology—High Velocity
Compression Drive® Bandpass Alignment—helps
produce a gutsy, driving bass that other similarly
sized built-ins can’t equal. Bass frequencies launch
out of the enclosure via an unobtrusive 3" x 12" vent.
The CSW100 comfortably fits in standard joist spacing.
Direct-radiating Laminar Flow Port enclosure is
designed for floor and ceiling installations.
Fits engineered floor joists and I-beam construction.
10" Long-throw driver with dual spiders for long
excursion control.

DYNAMIC BALANCE
polk
Advanced laser imaging technology allowed Polk Audio engineers to see the entire vibrating surface of a driver
and tweeter; they could actually see the resonance develop on the speaker cones—resonance that is the root
cause of loudspeaker distortion (A). Being able to see the resonance develop, they determined the “Dynamic
Balance” of high-tech materials, geometry and construction that effectively tune out the offending resonance (B).

SWA500 AMPLIFIER
All three subwoofers are powered by an external Class
D amplifier, the SWA500. It produces 500W Continuous
into 4 Ohms. The BASH amplifier combines the fidelity
of conventional Class A/B amplifiers with the efficiency
of Class D amplifiers. The bottom line is high power,
and cool, reliable operation with precise definition and
low distortion. Plug-in data cards for each subwoofer,
called SPEX Cards, preprogram equalization, infrasonic
filter characteristics and power output that best matches
the subwoofer being used. Each SPEX Card also has specific
power control circuitry tailored to each subwoofer’s require-
ments for an even greater level of reliability. A SPEX Card
installs easily, plugging into the back of the amplifier.
CSW100
Can power up to two subwoofers.
Delivers up to 250 Watts to each subwoofer.
SPEX card ensures optimum performance.
Front panel level and variable low-pass filter controls.
Power and protection LEDs.
CSW200
Overload protection circuitry.
Low-level and high-level inputs.
2 sets of outputs (for daisy-chain connection
to additional amplifiers).
Phase switch.
Auto On/Off switch.

SWA500 (back)
SPEX CARD
SPEX Cards configure the SWA500 for the particular model subwoofer being installed.
The card pre-programs equalization and overload protection. The card also features power
control circuitry designed specifically to each subwoofer’s requirements for extra reliability.
