Recently purchased JVC receiver (RX-884VBK) and installed with surround sound speakers. Needing recommendation for subwoofer to complete the package. System currently setup in downstairs room which is 15 ft x 25 ft. Unsure if spending limit of $100 is unreasonable. Open to suggestions. Thanks.
I bought a $99 subwoofer, Athena P300. It does not seem well controlled or extend low. Thankfully, it is not obviously boomy like my old Sony was. It is not loud. My sole purpose was to get a little low end extension and it does that. Other $100 subwoofers like Dayton from partsexpress may be better.. The impression I get from forums though, is that bass starts at $400 with the Hsu STF2. Info on what speakers you plan to match the sub with might help others provide good advice.
