Help me find a subwoofer for my setup... Polk Audio Monitor 70 fronts

Hey guys. So Santa brought me a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 70 tower speakers, as well as their matching center channel, the CS2. I'd like to get some more deep rumble for movies. For music, just the tower speakers are good enough.

I'm thinking about the Parts Express SUB-1500, which seems to be the 15 inch version of their popular SUB-1200. While the SUB-1200 is highly reviewed, considering its price, the SUB-1500 has basically no reviews available anywhere. Going by the reputation of its smaller sibling, I'd assume that this is a good choice.

What else would you recommend?

    I have exactly setup with the Polk PSW505 x2. Originally one though.
    Sounds great, very good match !! Well worth it for the cost for me. Can find real good deals on eBay.
    Next WILL be a SVS pb2000/pb12.
    But ultimately, it does boil down to "what's your budget"?

    In addition to 'What's Your Budget?' How big is your room and how much bass do you want/expect? If it's a massive room your budget may not get you the bass you're looking for. If it's a small room you may get more than enough.
