Subwoofers: Separating the Best From the Rest

[Hi Resolution]

The tests I was doing involved CEA-2010*output measurements. CEA-2010 measures the maximum usable output of a subwoofer at six different bass frequencies. As I’ve written before, it’s by far the most useful test you can perform on a subwoofer.

"However, it seems most manufacturers don’t perform CEA-2010 tests, and even fewer publish the results. In fact, I could find only one company that publishes CEA-2010 results on its website: Polk Audio. You rock, Polk."

Still looking for the CEA-2010 on the PSW-505!

I also know from speaking with the people at Hsu Research, SVSound, and Velodyne that those companies do CEA-2010 measurements. However, while these manufacturers sometimes share their CEA-2010 results on online forums, they don’t currently publish the results on their websites.

The PSW-505 is a Polk subwoofer.

I know it is, I guess they didn't think it needed it

The article should be saying that Polk recently started publishing their CEA-2010 results.

The list of builders is short indeed, at least my favorite subs use CEA-2010.

I need to dig into this a bit further. I thought I had seen some info about some questioning of the CEA-2010 spec recently.

Here is a list of some older subs and their rankings. I wish I could find a newer list.
