Best subwoofer for about $200?
Would it be the Polk PSW505? I really really really dont wanna spend a lot and will probably be going without a sub for a while.
Would the M70s produce decent enough bass that not having a dedicated sub for a while wouldnt completely suck?

PSW505 or BIC F12 is your best bet. what from I am reading, the BIC is a little cleaner, tighter, but the 505 is louder/deeper.
yep, the M70s won't give you enough bass, unless you have a top of the line AVR or bi-amp that thing with a separate amp.

Or you could spend the 200 bucks on....some pie.
Thats your que Mike.
Or how about a subwoofer that looks like pie, now I would be in for that product.
Seriously, the 505 is a good sub and plenty of others too, Bic, Epik, HSU, just to name a few decent budget subs. Look for a used one to save some coin.HT SYSTEM-

Doesn't hurt to try it out and see how it sounds. I wouldn't expect miracles though.

Check out that vintage TV!!! :eek:Do you hear that buzzing noise? -
Get a PSW111 thats what I have it gives a punchy amount of bass for filling in the lows that your 70's wont produce and does pretty decent when watcing Blu rays I see amazon has them on sale at $189 thats a pretty good deal I listened to the 505 and the Psw10 and liked this one the best.Home Theater
