Have the psw10 but now that the rti150's are gone I'm going to need more bass. I'm thinking 4 series, I have a medium room with concrete wall and 30 feet deep? I'm basing this on lsi7's upfront until the 9's arrive in a few days and the 7's go to sur. back.

    What is your actual room size? If it's 30 ft. deep with concrete walls, you'll need a massive sub.

    What is your budget?

    budget is five to six hundred or so, and the room size is medium with concrete walls 30ft deep, 15ft wide by 7ft high.

    Is this a basement with a concrete floor? If so and if you're handy, consider a DIY infinite baffle design.

    Like I said, you'll need a massive sub. Try getting a used Hsu STF-3 or used SVS anything. These subs will be OK until you can get something more powerful.

    You probably can get a used Hsu VTF3 mkII for around $600. I have one, and I'm very happy w/it. The VTF3 gives you the option of tuning it at a lower frequency (18hz) by plugging one of the two ports (in comparision to the Hsu STF3--which does not give you this option).

    SVS PB 10 is also a very good sub.
