I have a couple Jensen subs very similiar to the monoprice sub......they r pretty decent for what they are, but I would browse thru the Partsexpress flyer and build your own sub. They are a fantastic company and you can pick up what you want for a decent price, especially if you have a little patience and catch their stuff on sale (sign up for their email flyer and deals).
Also look into bass shakers to install in the couch. Sounds ghetto, but I installed two (one really is plenty) in my couch and powered them with seperate APA 150 amps. Really adds another dimension to your movies. I got the amps and bass shakers from PartsExpress. But if you are in a hurry, for the price, the monoprice sub is ok. It will definately help and you can always use it for another system or sell it if/when you decide to upgrade. Have fun!! |

SVS. 12" makes my whole house rumble. 350 500 watt amp.
Nothing you buy for $250 will give you what you want. Txl Edit to correct wattage |

Are you pretty committed to using a self-powered sub?
Is a single 150w amp and 12" sub going to be enough for your whole basement? I'm using a Crown pro audio 1500w amp to a pair of 15s in custom cabinets in my living room and I consider upsizing sometimes. If you're any good with woodworking you can build a simple enclosure for any inexpensive subwoofer, and pretty much any separate amplifier will work with most any receiver with an RCA subwoofer output. This will blow away the performance of most box-store powered subs. If you've got a whole basement to work with, you can even use one of those prefab car audio sub enclosures and find a way to integrate it without it being an eyesore. The separate amp/sub setup gives you more flexibility and if something fails down the road you only have to replace the failed portion (think of that old TV with the built-in VCR that only works as a TV now). |

We sectioned an area of the basement roughly 14' x 11' for an entertainment area. The stereo will be used 80% movies & 20% for music. For my living room, I will upgrade to "house rumbling" speakers when funds allow as I listen to music mostly up there. Timing isn't a necessity right now, I just thought with black Friday coming around I might be able to get a little more for my money. |

JR, if you can, go listen to that Klipsch. For your basement, it's probably perfect.
And for that price, seems to be a good deal. Txl |

Central PA. I must've misread the sales ad for best buy. 50% only pertains to the 10: sub, not the 12". Bummer

What is the floor made of? What are the walls made of?
That might have an impact on what type of sub you need to use. |

The cheapest ones they have listed are the SB-1000 (sealed enclosure - more precise, not as loud - better for music) and the PB-1000 (ported enclosure, louder, not quite as musical - better for HT.) Both are $499, but of course can be found cheaper at a dealer. SVS is good stuff. |

Quote HistoryI've used numerous Dayton subs, woofers, tweeters and amps over the years. In fact, I'm using this all Dayton speaker design for my front 3 speakers. http://projectgallery.parts-express.com/speaker-projects/the-d-iii/
Check out the AVS DIY section - http://www.avsforum.com/forum/155-diy-speakers-subs/ for dozens of examples of Dayton subs. For the same price you can beat that with a flat-pack. You will save money if you can build your own box. |
