Nirvelli Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have a "5.0" speaker system and use the Klipsch DD-5.1 for a decoder. I am looking for a good powered subwoofer to put in, but can only spend $100. What would be the best to buy? I am also probably going to get the ProMedia 5.1 Ultras within a year, so it would be good if i could use the sub with that too. Thanks.

Rdmarsiii Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 If you can wait, I'll have an Ultra sub I'll let go for $100, and youll have to get the control pod, which is $33 from klipsch. Let me know, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 There is no such thing as a GOOD POWERED SUB FOR $100 Only POS like bass modules that produce a droning one notey sound or have severe flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardP Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I don't claim to be a sub expert or have golden ears, but I recently helped a friend set up a system with KG2.2s as mains and center, 1.2s as rears, and a Velodyne CHT-10. We got the sub at www.electronics-expo.com for just under $200 including shipping. There is also a CHT-8 (8" driver) for even less $. I was surprised that we could only turn the sub volume to about a "2" on the 10-pt dial or else it overwhelmed the 2.2s, which certainly are not low sensitivity speakers themselves (about 90 db, I think). I think for the money the Velodynes are regarded as having reasonable sound and plenty of output for a normal room. Velodyne may be coming out with new models, as the current CHT line seems to be marked down a lot. Check out electronics-expo or J&R Music World.

kenratboy Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Do thats Parts Express sub. It will be fine for the money. We have a little 8" Jamo sub with a 50 watt amp, and it can actually shake the floor at low levels! Not bad for what it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdmarsiii Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I saw one of the ugliest things today. It was some kind of Citroen, modified by Maseratti. It had a V6 with three weber carbs. Thing will top out at 165, and do 140 supposedly in ten seconds. Sounds mean, but is butt ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
