Hey guys,

Quick question. Anyone got any subs that are decent....not looking at something stellar....for my r15 onkyo tx 8211 computer setup? I just need some of that bottom range filled up. I can't seem to find a sub for under 100 bucks...which is more than I have right now for this setup because I have to pay some other stuff off first, but wanted to see my options first and do more research.

I was thinking a simple sealed box. maybe 1 cu ft if not less. Any idea on driver amp combos? Did some searching around PE. My first ported box was ok I wasn't too impressed but well sealed should be harder to screw up.

Thanks,

Chris

    KLH makes some cheap effective subs. I believe Best Buy sells them. You should be able to get one no problem under $100.
