subwoofer help for polks

[maxx103]

i was on new egg the other day and bought 2 polk audio monitor 60s series 2 or somthing while they where on sale. anyway i have a small room (wait small room tower speakers and a sub i know right) so i want a sub that will go well with it i was looking at the psw but got alot of negativity from some old forum but i am still considering. i wont be getting right away and will be upgrading my whole system in like 4 years so it dosent have to be amazing (like i might put this 2.1 system in my room and get a new one later oh by that i ment i will be moving). Also it has to be powered (dammit yamaha) and i wont be buying right away so if theres like a sub thats a bit pricey but the company is coming out with a new model i will swipe up the deal on new egg later.
thanks for all the help and i do know where the thanks button is

You don't say how much money you are willing to pay. If you can afford it, I recommend:

If you can afford to spend more, I would get a higher model from the same company. For less money, I will let others give advice, though it is usually best to save one's money and buy one that is good enough, rather than to buy one and then buy a better one later.

Sure, a new SVS or HSU would be nice but for $250 I would check your local Craigslist. That amount won't go very far on a brand new sub but in the used market you could find something pretty darn nice. I would look for Velodynes etc.. As an owner of a PSW505 I would say from personal experience that they really aren't that great when compared to the competition. I like Polk speakers I just feel their subs are kind of their week link.

For the price range, you can look into the Bic America F12 subwoofer. Check out the big discussion about them here...

The HSU STF-1 often goes on sale at your price point.
