About the Polk Audio Atrium Sub10
The lack of walls and other reflective surfaces can make outdoor speakers sound thin and tinny. But now you can add some real low-end punch to your outdoor music system with the Polk Atrium Sub10. This all-weather subwoofer features a 10" driver to deliver the deep bass frequencies that typical outdoor speakers just can't handle. Connect the Sub10 to your receiver or amplifier, and you'll enjoy fuller, richer sound at all your cookouts and outdoor gatherings.
The tough resin enclosure sports a terracotta finish that you can paint to match your deck or patio décor. And it supports up to 200 pounds, so you can use it as a plant stand or an end table.
Polk designed the Sub10 to perfectly complement their Atrium Sat30 outdoor speakers, but you can use it to add punchy bass to any outdoor speaker system.

Outdoor Subwoofer
All-Weather Design: The Polk Audio Atrium SUB10 Outdoor Subwoofer combines heavy-duty bass performance and all-weather durability to deliver indoor-level bass impact to your home's outdoor area, such as your deck, porch, pool, or garden area.
Driver Technology
10" Dynamic Balance Woofer: The Polk Audio Atrium SUB10 Outdoor Subwoofer features a down-firing 10" Composite Long-Throw Dynamic Balance Driver for deep accurate bass. Polk's Dynamic Balance Driver Technology eliminates driver distortion for deeper, cleaner bass even at higher volume. The 10" woofer also features a rugged butyl rubber surround for added durability and bass response.
Dual 2" Voice Coil Design: The Polk Audio outdoor subwoofer's dual 2" voice-coil design reproduces bass from both stereo channels, producing more power (up to 200 watts) in the lower frequencies with the help of Capacitive Coupling Technology. The voice coils are 8 ohms each.
Built-In Low-Pass Crossover: Using it's built-in low-pass crossover (150Hz), the Atrium SUB10 can be connected directly to its own amplifier channels for independent volume control. The overall frequency response is 40Hz-200Hz and the -3dB frequency response is 50-110kHz.
Acoustically-Matched Design: The Polk Audio Atrium SUB10 outdoor subwoofer is an excellent match for Polk's Atrium SAT30 Outdoor Satellite Speakers (107ATSAT30, sold separately).
Enclosure Design
Sealed Resin Enclosure: The 10" woofer is housed in a molded and sealed acoustically ideal resin enclosure which is marine-certified that will provide weather-proof, outdoor performance for years to come. The enclosure's color-impregnated resin (terracotta) will never fade or you can paint it to match your outdoor décor. The sealed resin enclosure can also be used as a plant stand or a pedestal table (supports up to 200lbs).
Connections
Direct Burial Connection: The Polk Audio Atrium SUB10 features an attached 3' CI3-Rated direct burial 4-conductor cable so no there is no exposed wiring once the woofer has been mounted and connected. The outdoor subwoofer comes with four wire-nuts for connecting your speaker wire. Because both have built-in crossovers, the sub can be wired in parallel with a pair of Atrium SAT30 satellite speakers. (Or both can be wired to individual amplifier channels.)
Wiring Options: The SUB10's direct burial cable has four conductors because of the speaker's dual voice coil design. You can connect each voice coil to separate amplifier channels, which will present an 8-ohm load to each channel. If you connect both of the voice coils to a single amplifier channel (in parallel), a 4-ohm load will be presented to the amplifier. (Make sure the amplifier is capable of handling a 4-ohm load.)
Mounting Options
Security Anchor: The Polk Audio Atrium SUB10 features an integrated eyebolt security anchor and screw-down Points for added stability and security (mounting screws not provided).

I have been very impressed with the bass provided by the Polk 10" Sub. I have a large outdoor pool area and used 2 10" subs that fill the whole area with good sound. I think that placement along walls and some distance from each other helps a lot.
