Ultimate Budget Sub?

[Tomorrow]

Amazon.com has an Advent ASW1200 for 83 bucks, delivered. If you're on a strict budget, but want a subwoofer with some oomph, dis be da one. I can't speak for its longevity, but what AverageJoe and I heard make this a Best Buy for tight budget HT's (and music).

Yeah, I posted this one when it was 79.94 and free shipping. I see it went up a few bucks...
However, it should be good for those on a super tight budget...
