ok I have a yamaha htr 5660 I have some really good jbl speakers bi g ones at that. but I never got a subwoofer cuz long story short I thought I would be getting one but it got lost. so I need a subwoofer. I want a good one. but I dont really want to sink like 500 bucks on a subwoofer. how the hell can they charge that much. I just started looking tho so any help at all is wanted.

people dont come here often do they? well I think I am getting a 12" 650w klipsch subwoofer any opinions?
 
Couple of years ago I bought a Velodyne from Circuitcity, which works fine, at least for musc. At the time doing research, found that the only difference between the Circuitcity Velodyne and those sold at higher end audio stores was the enclosure, i.e., the guts were the same. Not sure if this is still the case but you could look into it.
 
Take a look at one of these on ebay from harmanaudio, can be had with shipping for under 250, or maybe get 2! Or you can make your own homebrew sub with a component amp and a 15" car sub driver.

I got this sweet Sony Dual 10" Sub @ Fryes for $250

It Rocks

See the second 10" Driver under the Sub it's got Class D Power 250 Watts
 
Try to avoid Klipsch. There's been a lot of reports of a lack of reliablity from
them the past few years.

What size room? For movies or music or games?
