    Please help the newbie with some tips on buying

    Hi Mark, I would agree with the other guys. Either wait and save up somemore cash. Or buy a modest reciever with two speakers and start from there. In time you can buy a much better sub then up grade as you go. This is the route that I took. And it took me over five years to get everything...

    okay i know BOSE is hated here......

    I would keep the bass module pluged in. Just get or use a subwoofer with it. and use the reciever to set the crossover at 80 to 120 hz or to what ever sounds good to you. I don't think that there would be too many issues of cancellation if you use the two togther. As they say experment with...

    Any opinions on Leatherman tools?

    When I was deployed, I had both the Leatherman Wave and the Gerber Multitool. I liked them both and used the heck out of both while I was in the middle east. In fact I remeber using them to do critical repairs in the middle of a mission.

    amplifer

    I'm sure that one of the forum's sponsers will have an amp that will fit your needs at a reasonable cost. if not try parts express, or Adire audio. And get a amp designed for a home audio subwoofer. In the long run you will be much happier.
