Is this a better sub than the Velodnye VX-10. Unfortunately, I don't think the Dayton 10" sub will meet the WAF standards. The picture of it looks more like a large bird house than a subwoofer. And I'd love to buy an SVS PB-10 or an HSU sub but I'd be a single man again if I spent that much.

The other note worthy 10" subs (and their normal price) sold at Ultimate Electronics that might fall to my price range ($200 or

One thing you should know is that Deftech sometimes inflate their numbers. Also the price for the SVS pb10 is $429. That seems to be in the middle of your range of 399-599. You might be able to goto www.ecoustics.com and find some reviews of the deftech.

I had the little DefTech until recently.
As my first sub it was a decent performer. Take the down to 18Hz with a pinch of salt, in fact you can forget it!
Had it 4 months then bought a SVS.
The PB10-ISD is right in your price range, though it is a lot larger than the DefTech.
Buy the SVS in your price bracket.

As the post says, my budget for a subwoofer is $200 or less. I'm only hoping I can snatch one of these from Ultimate Electronics during their liquidation sale where they've said that everything must be eventually sold. So I guess the question is, which of these subwoofers would you choose?

Forward Firing:
Polk PS-10
Velodyne VX-10
DefTech ProSub 100TL
Infinity PS-10
Klipsch RW-10

Downfiring:
MTX SW2
Paradigm PDR-10 (may have to settle for used)

I like the fact that the DefTech's are smaller units, which works well for me since I'm storing the sub under an end table on the side of the couch. However, I may get better performance from a down-firing unit such as the Paradigm since I have hardwood floors.

Infinity PS-10,Klipsch RW-10. These 2 seem to be up near the top. At places like cnet(klipsh) and pricegrabber(infinity), they both seem to get high reviews from people who bought them.
