sub replacement

[guy neeser]

I have two j 5120 towers, old stuff. center yamaha center, paper torn off, 250w twin 6" drivers, with paper tweeter. 4 surround sony 100w rms @ 80 hz. Receiver is a yamaha rx v663. Sub quit. The 5120 have a LOT of bass. With that in mind, I have the yamaha box which is a yst-sw315. Not working tested the speaker via the 9 volt batt. jumped out of my hand almost. The box is good, thought about plate amp, just don't know what to do. Under $200 what would you suggest?? I have lost all my hair trying to decide what to do. Low on money.

The Emotiva Basx S8 sub should be an ear opener for you -- the only sub that I would spend $199 for

I am not a fan of Yamaha subs -- however, there is one here

The Dayton subs are considered a good value.

A bit over budget, but are well liked as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0015A8Y5M/ref=pd_aw_sbs_23_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=N655JE0YM2BCRE5GXKDJ&dpPl=1&dpID=A1CYDTtg52L
I have the Dayton 1200 and they fantastic for the price. Seems like they sold out at PE and amazon. I bet the Dayton 1500 are good as well.
