Sub for Monitor 70s?

[cdanielski]

I've been looking at polk direct (ebay) trying to add an inexpensive sub to my 7.0 hometheater setup -- Monitor 70 fronts, CS2 center, Monoprice 6 1/2 in-wall for surrounds and rears all are driven by an Onkyo 606. I'm a newbie to home audio as this is my first system. Usage is 30% movies, 30% tv, 30% games, 10% music.

While the Monitor 70s have what I consider a nice amount of bass (not looking for audiophile bass replication.), I was hoping to add some thump that can be felt. The theater is in one area of an open basement - about 1,200 sqft with 7' ceiling. My top end is $200 including tax and shipping. There are several subs on the polk direct site that sell regularly in my price range - the PSW110 and PSW303.

Would either of these subs add much bass? Would two PSW10s be better?

Thanks in advance for your input!

At under $200 for mostly HT and gaming, I'd go with a Dayton sub (Parts Express):

Good suggestion, but I would like to add one more:

I would get (2) of these for under $200 shipped! The good thing is, if you don't like them just send them back for a FULL refund. All you are out is your time.

Or, I would get (1) of these. Perhaps, (2) if you can up your budget a little. Here is a link:

It is a win-win situation if you ask me. What more could you ask for? Hope, you find this helpful. Be sure to keep us posted.



Cheers,
