Our take on 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.

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.

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).

Solid Performance

Written By Jerry, Preston, CT on Friday, June 03, 2011
 
I have searched for a reasonalby priced additon to my Bose outdoor speakers as they lacked the bass performance that I want in my system and I finally found it in the Polk Atrium Sub 10.

I am powering the sub through the subwoofer output of my Yamaha receiver and a Hafler 220 stereo power amplifier. This allows me to control the output of the subwoofer in order to better blend the subwoofer with the main speakers at all listening levels. I couldn't be more pleased. I now have the sound I was looking for at lower volume levels. We can carry on a conversation while still enjoying great sound.

If you plan on using the sub as a passive subwoofer, I would recommend the entire Polk Atrium system as I am sure that they are designed to perform best together.

Provided the sound depth I was looking for outdoors.

Written By , Springfield, VA (DC Metro) on Monday, June 21, 2010
 
I have a set of Bose 251s set up on my underdeck patio. These speakers alone did not provide the outdoor sound that I was looking for. I debated for months and months on what type of subwoofer to use to hopefully enhance the sound and had actually settled on a Klipsch only to find out that it had been discontinued when I was ready to place my order. I had seen the Polk Atrium Sub 10 but was initially put off by its shape as I really didn't need a speaker that looked like a plant stand. Plus, the online pictures made it look bigger than it actually is.

Long story, short...I settled on this subwoofer, installed PAC BB-150A2 Bass Blockers (at the suggestion of Jeff at Crutchfield) in the satellite speaker + leads, routed it all through a Niles volume control switch and I now have the sound that I had been looking for

I am a very satisfied customer and am happy that I went with this product. I gave it only 4 stars because I still think it is kind of a goofy shape but it is stuck back in a corner and is hardly noticed (except for the great bass that it puts out).

Polk Audio Atrium Sub10

Written By Alf, Baltimore, MD on Wednesday, August 05, 2009
 
This woofer is designed to work with Sat 30 Satellite speakers. I have Atrium 45's. There is no crossover in the Sub. Connections are parallel. This is less than ideal for the Atrium 45's which continue to receive bass signals. Nevertheless, the sound is quite reasonable and very much improved over the Atrium 45's alone.
