Their slimmed down form factor reduces the need for oversized subwoofer enclosures. Plus, Polk's dual voice coil (DVC) subwoofers offer multiple impedance connections, allowing you to better match the performance of your amplifier for higher potential power. You get a look that goes virtually unnoticed—but a sound that doesn’t.

 

Marine Certified

 

DB+ Series Subwoofers are IP56 rated so they are dirt- and water-resistant. They also have been tested for salt-fog, UV and humidity. A big part of that marine certification also means that each subwoofer has a UV tolerant cone, waterproof surrounds, and stainless steel mounting hardware, ensuring that they are fully protected against the elements

 

Designed To Go The Extra Mile

 

All Polk loudspeakers rely on our patented process to eliminate electro-acoustic and mechanical issues before they become a part of the finished speaker and are also rigorously tested through Polk’s Klippel distortion analyzers. DB+ Series Subwoofers, in addition to offering IP56 waterproof rating and Marine Certification, have waterproof surrounds that completely block dirt, liquid and grime from entering the speaker housing, all designed to maximize longevity of the speaker.
