[QUOTE="zako, post: 7698238, member: 629735"] This forum seems obsessed about big bass, so you're not gonna get many good comments about powered subwoofers. I personally can't comment on pre-made bass combos, but I could suggest how to build one from pieces. For the woofer, I'd recommend Infinity Reference subwoofer. They cost something like $60 a piece online. They are not the loudest, but the basic sound quality should be there, with good impact. Infinity/Harman/JBL subwoofers have always been about quality bass IMHO. If you can't give your subwoofer at least a 1 cu ft box, I'd say go with the 10 inch one. The impedance configuration should depend on the kind of amplifier that you will buy. For the box, get a $30 "Sonic sub box" of size and shape that you desire from sonicelectronix.com. This leaves you with about $100 to buy an amplifier. Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with the selection of $100 amplifiers to suggest one.. The truth is that, with the exception of a few one-time deals, most of $100 or cheaper amplifiers are crap. I know that the PPI Phantom P600.2 should work fine, although overkill, but it costs more than $100. [/QUOTE]
