Specifications

Price (US)Not published No US price was available verbatim on any page checked. The official Polk Audio archive page is an out-of-stock listing with no price; the Amazon listing showed only EUR prices for comparison items (not the HTS 12 itself); the Best Buy page timed out; and Audio Advisor's price did not appear on the page. MSRP is commonly reported as $449.95, but it was not sourced verbatim from a page we checked, so no price is listed rather than a guess.

How we checked

The official Polk Audio HTS 12 archive page (polkaudio.com) confirms the exact model — "HTS 12 - Flagship 12\" Subwoofer" — and lists verbatim: a single 12" Polypropylene Dynamic Balance/Klippel-optimized driver, "Power Port Bass Vented" (ported) enclosure, Class D amplifier, "22 Hz -> 180 Hz" total response with "28 Hz -> 120 Hz" -3 dB limits, 18.5" x 17.126" x 18.11" cabinet, and 49.9 lbs; being an out-of-stock archive listing, it showed no price. Audio Advisor's US retailer page for the same model corroborates the identity and supplies the amplifier ratings absent from the manufacturer page — "Continuous Power: 200 Watts" and "Peak Power: 400 Watts" — plus a "front-firing 12" driver", and repeats the identical dimensions, 49.9 lb weight, and frequency limits verbatim. No verbatim USD MSRP appeared on any fetched page (Amazon rendered only EUR comparison-item prices and Best Buy failed to load), so the price is left blank rather than guessed.
