I am running a Onkyo tx-sr 605, Polk Rti6 fronts, Polk Csi3 center and am looking for a sub to match. I found three that are in my price range.
Polk PSW 404, Polk PSW505 and the Infinity PS212. The room is 15x26. I dont want to over power the speakers. But I am running a 8'' sub now that has 50 watts at 4 ohms. I need deeper more powerful bass. Im looking to spend 200-300 dollars. The above three are all onsale on amazon.com in that price range.
Any advice or recommendations??? PLEASE! lol

Take a look at the BIC Acoustec H-100, AV123 x-sub and Elemental Designs A2-250. You can find discussions of these at Subwoofers, Bass, and Transducers - AVS Forum

Re: Which subwoofer????

Cadence has a new 15" sub coming out soon, and I have heard the previous 12" one - for the price it is OK, but it is not a stellar sub. I am picking one of the 15" subs up this week to put through its paces. I'd skip the Polks.

Re: Which subwoofer????

After a few days of research, I have decided to get a SVS 25-31 pci.
It was a battle between HSU/ED/SVS. I went with the SVS because of its convienent size. I love that it only takes up 16 inches of floor space.
I cant wait to see how it sounds thursday when I recieve it!!!

Can't go wrong with SVS. I just got my PC Ultra and it's an INCREDIBLE Sub!

Re: Which subwoofer????

Well I got my SVS 25-31 pci last night and got it all hooked up and calibrated.
Im in love! It shook the whole house and probably my neighbors house too lol. It blends beautifly with the rest of the speakers. You barely know where the bass is coming from. 600 dollars well spent! I couldnt be happier! SVS for life!!!
