Hello everyone, I have purchased everything in my home theater so far except for the sub. What I have coming at the moment :

DENON AVR-1912
Polk CSi A4 center
Polk monitor 70's front
Polk monitor 40's back

Now for the sub I've been reading and reading and going back and forth and now I'm even more confused than when I started. The room it would go in is in the basement which is pretty large and would be for about 80% movies 20%music. The subs I've come across that fall into my budget the best :

BIC pl-200
Polk PSW505
HSU STF-2
Lava LSP12
Cadence CSX12

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

I got a Polk and people that visit and watch a movie are amazed at how well they feel immersed in the movie.

I just recently did a HT build for a friend and used that sub. It's a pretty impressive sub for the price. For $200 you'll be hard pressed to find something better.

Metro 2033 is one of the greatest FPS games ever made. Although not usually recognized as such, due to the horrible state the gaming industry is in, it succeeds largely on its storytelling,...
