Defective 165W sub-woofer!?!?!? Did I get cheated and sent a defective 165 W sub-woofer???

Mine also says it is 165W, but the bass is massive. I've got the dial on the back only turned up about 25%. Maybe you got a bad connector cord? Did you use the calibration microphone? Good luck!

Let me know exactly what subwoofers you are trying to push. Also give me the RMS power and I'll be glad to help you. I have the 500 watt monoblock running a single 12" Punch P2-12 @ 2 ohms and it literally slams. My amp is rated @ 500 but according to the spec sheet, it produces 638 watts!!! RF is amazing quality stuff.

Dear John--If your sub-woofer works when connected to the speaker outputs of the STR-DH800, I am guessing that it is not an amplified sub-woofer. The sub-woofer output of the STR-DH800 is a "high-impendance" output intended only to drive an external woofer amplifier--it doesn't have the power capability to drive a speaker directly.Best Regards--Bill

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

If the light is out, I would check to see if there is power getting to the sub-woofer. If you have a meter, check it with that. My money is on the power supply. Again, I'd check with Polk tech support after testing the power supply. If you don't have access to a meter, you can pick one up cheaply at Harbor Freight or perhaps you have a neighbor who is "handy". I hope that helps.

Sorry do not know. I disconnected the sub woofer long ago. To much base. It was like listening to everything from another room

Check that all wires are fully connected. Other wise it would probably be something internal in which case yeah I would return it. Other thing would be speakers but if you only noticed it with the new amp then there's your issue.

Yes this is a problem I am having with my new system as well, same make and model. I ordered a replacement the other day. Seems to be a problem with the receiver, I wrote about it in my review.

I hear mine great, I'd check your receiver settings to make sure the DB level is set properly across all channels (speakers)

I would guess that they shipped the wrong cable. I received a cable that connects with both speakers. You should return or notify the seller that they included the wrong cable.

Did you check the little volume switch on the speakers? Otherwise I'd message the seller and ask for a new set of speakers in exchange for the ones you bought.

Philip M. Isidro says: I just got my package today and it says 260 Watt Max, but on Amazon it says 280 Watt Max. Pioneer states the TS-D1720C's are 260 Watt also... I know it's only a 20 Watt difference but.....false advertising? I AGREE, wtf Amazon? I Waited 2 MONTHS for mine to ship, even as a Paid Prime member. And then yesterday a box shows up and it is Clearkly marked "240 watts" I was PISSED OFF to say the least. 2 months ago I ordered all the other Pioneer stuff based on Pioneers "Stage 3" system. I had to search all over the place to Find a customer Service phone number and they have NO Clue at all, just to say they will send out another set, Another weekend GONE without being able to install my Stage 3 Pioneer system. After she(customer service) says she's sending me the Correct speakers and I hang up to WAIT all over again. I go to Pioneer USA and cannot find this speaker Amazon is advertising as 280watts at all. So I get on the phone with Pioneer, and Ask about the 280 watts set. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM IN 280 WATTS! I feel DECIEVED by Amazon and after having to Wait 2 whole Months to get them, to then have to call amazon to tell them they shipped me the Wrong speakers after Waiting 2 Months to get them. And they Still had NO CLUE, and are most likely sending me Another set of the 260 watt speakers since the "280 watts" DO NOT EXIST! I could have installed my stereo system 2 MONTHS AGO had Amazon advertised what they are selling CORRECTLY. I will most likely Drop my "Prime Membership" after this since you gotta Wait LONGER than the friggin Free Super Saver Shipping anyways.

Either you bought different speakers from me (and the ones you posted the comment about), you received different speakers than you ordered or your observation is incorrect. My speakers have terminals on only one side.

they "F'd" my order up on this. Sent me One "Woofer"...cust serv directed me to tiger direct confirming the sku # was for two speakers. I was sent "ANOTHER SINGLE WOOFER". take your chance!

I have no idea. I hope you have better luck with yours than I did with mine! It quit working almost exactly one year after I bought it. Now I have a worthless wireless sub-woofer and a worthless plastic piece of crap sound bar. Good luck!

Hello MR.CROWE Jr. I agree with #2s answer also you have no hookup for Sub woofers Ms. Celeo DECEMBER 19 2014

Hugh, try it out under your condition and evaluate the result. The woofer is powerful; therefore, that cabinet perhaps will produce an unwanted sound of its own.
