Product Description
The Easiest Way To Enhance Your TV-Watching Experience
You're missing something, and you may not even know it. You're watching your TV; look how great your flat panel looks, how clean it is, mounted on your wall. You hear the music and effects and dialogue just fine from the TV's little speakers. Maybe you think: I wish this had more oomph!
Wireless Convenience
No additional (and expensive) LFE cable needed; no audio wires needed at all. Put your subwoofer anywhere you want it, and sacrifice nothing for the convenience. Plug the sub into a nearby wall outlet, connect the transmitter, and you're done. Onboard Polk Digital LogicTM uses advanced auto-sensing to determine the signal your system is sending (LFE or Line Level), and it instantly responds, selecting the appropriate low-pass filter. The 2.4-Gigahertz Wireless Transmitter is state-of-the-art, interfaces easily with any system, and can be put anywhere in your room.
It's A Stimulus Package For Your TV
Dollar for dollar there is no more economical way to add real drama and impact to your TV sound than with a subwoofer. It fills in the bass effects that your TV speakers cannot come close to reproducing. And for Polk Audio high performance and compact wireless convenience, the PSWi225 is the logical choice.
Compact, Powerful...Wireless!
The PSWi225 Wireless Subwoofer adds no clutter to your room at all, taking up less than a cubic foot of space and adding no unsightly wires, but it instantly adds a dimension of deep bass impact to your otherwise two-dimensional TV-watching experience. And once you experience the simple improvement of bass? Well, then you (and your family) may be much more receptive to exploring the excitement of multi-channel home theater sound. (It's already in your HDTV broadcasts and your DVDs. You just have to unleash it.

 FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!! October 7, 2009

I was looking for a wireless sub to complement a 32" Sony XBR LCD TV that has 5.1 surround bar and a small built-in subwoofer at the back on the LCD panel. Since this TV is in a bedroom I don't have enough space to add external speakers or any other audio components, which is why I paid a premium to get the built-in 5.1.

br /When I saw this wireless sub at $208 on Amazon, it was worth trying so I ordered it and received it in less than a week. Took me 5 mins to plug in and VOW, what a difference it made! The wireless transmitter has Audio-L R ports that are connected to the Audio out of my TV. It also has a LFE input to connect directly to the sub woofer output of an amp. I'm blown away by the quality of this product and the ease of use. Now I'm so used to this thing that if I turn it off, the built-in 5.1 TV speakers that used to sound pretty good, feel like tin-can speakers. I am extremely happy with this product (at this price point) and am thinking of adding another one to complement two 8" ceiling speakers in my family room. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to add that extra touch of bass to an existing TV or iPod dock or any speakers that lack the bass. I hope the $208 price stays the same for a while or even drops further.
Great Sub! November 3, 2009

I needed a wireless sub because my components (receiver, dvr, and dvd player) are kept in a media closet off my living room. Running wires would have been painful. This was a great solution to complete my home theater.
Excellent sound! November 21, 2009

I'm a budget conscious audiophile and I was a bit hesitant on the whole wireless concept. I was under the impression that I would lose some sound depth...but wow was I ever mistaken. I've owned Polks for years now and have always been impressed by the overall quality of their products. I was also hesitant about the whole "Made in China" side of the equation...but apparently Polk engineers are always on site in China to ensure that all their speakers meet Polk's quality requirements. If any of you are hesitating...don't! This sub does exactly what a sub is supposed to do...in that it properly complements the sound emanating from a good set of main speakers.
br /Basically...very pleased!

Two very small flaws... January 2, 2010

If you turn it up past about 10% it gives you way more than you need, and the little rubber feet on the bottom of the legs rip right off if you attempt to slide it on the carpet. Other than that, it really compliments the 16 speaker array on our Mitsubishi TV very well. I love not having wires all over the room.
A perfect solution for the Onkyo TX 8511 bass issues September 2, 2009

I run rather small main speakers (Polk Audio RTi 4's) in an average size room and like most people, I thought the bass was a little thin. Because my Onkyo TX 8511 does not have a dedicated subwoofer or center channel output, about the only solution was to hard wire a powered subwoofer to the amp's speaker outputs then back out to the mains...until now. As the Tape 2 output on the TX 8511 is an unswitched line output, I merely attached a pair of Y-Cables to the Tape 2 output with one branch going to a Niles 3 deck Tape Deck Switch and the other to the transmitter for my Polk Audio PSWi 225 wireless subwoofer. Problem solved. Absolutely clean bass, no buzz, no interference with other wireless devices thanks to a 4 channel selector switch. Automatic signal sensing so there's no need to shut the sub off when not using it. The sub has a 100w rms amp which is more than adequate for the room. I don't know if this would be ok for really large rooms.
