What sub for under $200

[BassThatHz]

I wouldn't say noise maker, but it would definitely be restricted enough in bandwidth and power to be classified as a non-sub "woofer".

It would be hard to beat for the money, even for a DIY.
$200 that includes shipping too?

I would forego a sub and spend the extra cash on decent speakers until you can afford a sub in excess of $300. IMHO, anything less than $200 is a glorified noise maker, worthy of only a Bose emblem. Sorry.

This isn't an issue of me putting together a new system, and saving up extra for better speakers... I replaced all the speakers in my main system, so the ones that I replaced are going in my bedroom.

The bedroom system will include:

Center - Def Tech CLR 2002
L & R - Def Tech BP8
Surrounds - Def Tech BP1.2x
Subwoofer - Dayton Sub 120
Receiver - Yamaha RX-V663
DVD - Toshiba HD-A2 from my main system once I get a HDTV, but Panasonic S-35 in the meantime
Blu-Ray - to be determined, but most likely another PS3
TV - right now a 19" Sanyo, to be replaced with a LCD flat panel later this year.

I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on this sub/system as it's just for my bedroom, and won't be played super loud or even used all that often. I'm well aware of the differences between a good quality sub, and a low end sub, as I have a nice SVS sub right now, and have heard the Dayton 10 before, as well as other lower end subs, and I think the Dayton 12 will do me right.

Yes, it's only $181.45 shipped, and I think I'm getting it as a birthday gift, so I didn't want to ask for a really expensive sub. The Dayton will do just fine, and if in the future I feel that it's inadequate, I'll sell it when I have more money and get something nicer, in the meantime it should fit the application nicely.

Ah, I see. That'll work.
