    Reading the other threads, decided to purchase a Polk PSW10 (Amazon has them for $89.99 with free prime shipping).

    Looking at the back of it, it has Low Pass with a range from 80-100-160, and a switch for phase from 0 to 180.

    From reading the other thread, I think I will run alligator clips to the speaker located at the bottom of the cabinet
    and then out the back through the power cord opening.

    Couple of questions:

    1) For the Low Pass, what should i be on?

    2) For the phase switch, should it be at 0 or 180

    3) How do I know which is the Positive and Negative on the speaker in the cabinet

    4) What gauge wire is the best to use?

    5) Connecting it to the Input, on the subwoofer, either right side or left side input is fine, Correct?

    play around with low pass til you get desired bass sound, 0, cabinet wire with line on it is positive/all black negative, heavier gauge is better, side dont matter/pick right or left. best part is you can hook two games up to one sub! they rock

    I have never liked the alligator clip method. I put in molex connectors in all my machines and can switch in a minute.

    some games i did alligator clips, others i just soldered the speaker wire to the speaker terminal. i've seen people use spade terminals too
