Honestly, I was just looking for something cheap on Craigslist... it's hard to put a price range on it. I'm no audiophile... but I do like good sounds and good music. Not being an audiophile, I think this board was not the best place to post about this... sorry about that. I just wanted to add some bass to my setup. I wanted something that was cheap and would last a long time. I guess 100 bucks would be my limit... but I prefer to spend less.
Sheep, I read some other posts where you actually recommended the Athena sub to some posters, and their price range was well above mine. Why the change of heart?

I never said NOT to buy it. I just said it's not that good.
AND, it's been a long *** time since I mentioned that subwoofer. Read my review.
These options are both double the price or more than the OP's original question.
Maybe we should find out what his actual budget is as there are a lot of half way decent subs at that price point.
$50 is a pretty low budget. I would look for a used Dayton Sub-120 HT series 12" 150 watt powered subwoofer. Look on Craig's list in you area or other places that sell used audio equipment, such Audiogon
A new one is $155 which I realize is three time OP's budget. However, this is as low price,inexpensive sub that sounds good that I personally would recommend. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C9NV78
for 75 bucks. I noticed it doesn't have as high of wattage or as low of frequency range, and it is mostly advertised as a 'kiosk' subwoofer... but it is a killer brand. Is it a better deal?

Yes I would agree thats a killer sub for a small/medium sized room. I have a few friends that have one and they are excellent. But good luck finding one for $50.
If you can bump it up to $150 by saving up you are looking at a stellar sub. But if you can't afford it the Athena is really not bad.
Depending on how far you can stretch your budget you could open it up for a few more options.

45hz? Might as well use a bookshelf speaker. Seriously, spend the money, or don't bother at all.
