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?

What's your budget? With subs, the sky is the limit....
-
While the lower line Dayton subs are a good option at their price point, depending on your budget (you'll notice that is a common theme around here...tell us how much you want to spend and by God we will spend it for ya!), there are far better options out there.
I am an SVS fanboy and you can get into some solid SVS subs in the $500-$750 range with a warranty and 45 day no questions asked return policy if you don't like it.
But Hsu Research, Outlaw and others are good options at that "better than entry level" price point.

I'm with Ken what's your budget?

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.Up
