Compact Subwoofer for bedroom system

lonwa

Hello,

I need to purchase a powered compact subwoofer for a modest HT setup in my master bedroom. The room is not that big so I do not need anything crazy for wattage. Any ideas on options? I do not want to spend too much money on it either (less than $200 prefered). I love my polks, but the PSW111 is just a little too much for this system.

Hopefully I am not looking for the holy grail


Thanks a lot

I had a psw 250 behind the watterbed headboard and it worked great! and you can find used for cheap!

What about the psw 110. There's one on polk direct right now for 129$. I have the psw111, what makes you think it would be to much for your system? It should work perfect in a modest bedroom setup.

When I said the 111 was too much, I meant too much money, even at a 50 discount (250).

I would consider buying the PSW111 on Polk ebay, but why is shipping $50 there, when shipping is free if I buy it new on their website?

I don't know about the shipping, but the only thing bad about the psw111 is that it doesn't go very low at all. If your rooms not that big, then it will be plenty loud enough. The room I use mine in is, 24x14x8, and I can still feel the bass from it. I only run it at a little over half volume, and it packs a decent punch.

It doesn't do to well with music, it seems a little slow and over powered by my fronts. But if your just wanting a little bass to watch movies with, it will do just fine. It's also very small, so you could really put it anywhere and it not be in the way.

I'm sure someone else can give you some more options then me, I'm fairly new to this and the psw111 is really my first non HTIB sub. For the price though, it seems like a good deal.
