Looking for good, low-cost sub to be used w/Quintets (1 Viewer)

[MarkMac]

A friend of mine is just starting out in HT, and he recently purchased Klipsch Quintets. We're looking for a good sub to finish it out, but I'm having some problems meeting his tight budget. He's looking to spend no more than $250. Any thoughts? I had been looking at the JBL PB12--bestpriceaudiovideo.com had them for $217, but they're out of stock.

bump, in case anyone had some suggestions/thoughts?

I think this might be just what your looking for? A great little performer for the $$.

I like the idea of the Dayton 10" except I do not like the look with that bung-hole in the middle of the front. The port should have been placed on the bottom or the back.

Well put a darn diaper on it then A guy can turn it any direction he chooses but it still will be one very plain looking sub.

Great! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at that one.

sony sa-wx-700

250 watts RMS, dual 10", down to 20hz (maybe) and can be had for less than $200

Another recommendation for the Dayton 10".

It may not be entirely aesthetically pleasing, but then again it's kind of "hidden" in my setup.

I don't know where you can get the sony sa-wx-700 for less than $200 but I bought the sony sa-wx-500 12" 150 watts
for $200 at best buy. You can get the 500 for about $130 online but I didn't feel like waiting.
I'm no stereophile but I'm very pleased with the 500.

Have you considered a small Velodyne sub? Perhaps the CHT-8?
