I appreciate all help and suggestions. I LOVE bass. LOVE IT. I like feeling myself move.
I was thinking I could get away with getting a good 2.1 setup for my computer and upgrade to a receiver + rest later. I use my Gaming PC as a home theater and music player. 80% music, 10% gaming, 10% movies. I listen to rap, techno, hardcore rock ect. My budget is flexible and I could always hold off until I have saved more money. I am looking to make my room sound incredible and have 'upgradeability' for future needs (probably like 3-5 years away when I buy my own house).
I currently have my setup in a medium sized bedroom in a townhouse. I am 100% open to buying used gear. I will be plugging my Macbook Pro (wirelessly) and PC into the system.
My thoughts so far.
Audioengine A5's- Used on ebay @ ($250)

~~These would stay as computer speaker and I would most likely upgrade to receiver + separates in a few years when I get more space and $$. I really like they have easy inputs and are moderately portable. I understand it could be a better option to get a 2.1 or 5.1 receiver and/or separate amp + 2 bookshelf speakers? If I could get those used and have a legit setup I can hold off and save money and get that?~~
MFW-15 Subwoofer - Open Box ($569) -
~~I want a subwoofer that can last and provide the output I have been searching out for years. I want to feel it in my gut and seem like I'm in my own club. I want it to hit the lows on gangster rap with authority. I do not want to wonder or think...I need just a little more power. I want a subwoofer that will finally fulfill my bass craving and have no need to upgrade later~~
Are there people who assemble and finish boxes if you provide the amp and sub?
I have done much research in Car Audio. Is it comfortable to say, 'excellent car audio woofers would do well in my application?' (JL W6, SI BM, SI Mag, SSA ICON, ect. )
