I have had a Polk PSW10 for many years it is ~$104 right now on amazon.

it isn't "amazing" but it is pretty good for $100... I have been pleased with mine.. I have had mine since 2008~ I think

Dayton Audio SUB-1200 or SUB-1000.  https://www.parts-express.com/brand/dayton-audio/301. Best entry level in my opinion, comparable to speakers over double the price.

How much you wanna spend TP? I got studio monitors... Yamaha HS-5... they don't go that low. They have a very defined crisp clear sound. But they expensive.

if you live in a condo or an apartment tread carefully when adding a sub..  they are a quick way to tick the neighbors off.


honestly living in a condo.. the only thing I've used my PSW10 for in awhile was to demonstrate to my old neighbor I had a subwoofer also..

and also this...


for some reason after being exposed to a night of 200watt Sony TA-N77ES + JBL L1's and sub the pricks decided to be more considerate ~ish until they moved (thank god) shortly after.

subs don't need to be turned up very high to provide a benefit.  I have condo neighbors and no one complains because I just use it to fill out the bottom end a bit and compliment my bookshelf speakers. no bassssssssssss blasting

I've been reading

that you need BIG cones for the low hz --feel--

But, then the larger the cone, typically the greater the THD,  so it's not really all that musical.

Who cares about musical with bass?

Because accuracy and performance matters when watching movies, tv, and listening to music that doesn't suck.

vintage has always been great for me. i think my vintage stereo setup is still by far the best speaker setup that i own.

I have 2-3 mid-high grade conventional 1970s-1980s consumer stereo rigs that sound great to me because that is what I grew up listening to.

Stored away I have a great dual-coil high-efficiency 15" subwoofer ("Sledgehammer" knock-off, as I recall) that I recently removed from the original case that I built for it in the mid-late-1980s. Building a new cabinet for it (perhaps with internal amplifier) is on my long to-do list.
