It'll more than likely be pretty boomy, I know my Polk sub that way similar to that was...to the point of annoying. If you want it for gaming, where you'll be hearing explosions and such, I'd look elsewhere, or just build your own.

i had an old cerwin vega subwoofer i could of made my own too bad i gave it away to some one

yea i want a sub that would be for games and stuff on the computer

im going to need highs i need like a package that comes with speakes and a sub and i want to spend 100

I was going to point you towards madisound.com, who had these nice Aura ones for sale...sold out though.

Polk makes some good stuff, don't realy know about that sub though

if i were you...... i would build my own.... you could buy a 240 watt plate amp for 99.00 ........... http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-805 ...... then you could buy a 10 or 12 inch SSA Dcon for 125.00 or 115.00 ... http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/categories/Sub-Woofers/SoundSolutionsAudio/ and i bet it would sound alot better then any of them you would buy for this price... it is easy enough to buid a box for one.. i built mine with 2 12" Dcons and it is unreal how good it sounds for the price.... you can allso buy a cabinet... http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searchResults.cfm?srchExt=CAT&srchCat=603 ... and it is great to be able to say I built it

i dont know if i can build a box

it is pretty easy to build a box.... pick what sub you want and figure out if you want it sealed or ported.. most manufactures say if there sub is better in a sealed or ported enclosure.. then they will say how big of a box... SSA is really good at telling you Enclosure Recommendations: see below.. then if you go to like re box calculator you can change the numbers that are in red and it will calculate tthe box size and tell you how box volume.. and all the info you need.. it will even give you a cut list and tell you what size to cut each piece.. you can also google anything you need to know.. there are tons of sites with pictures and articls

re box calculator http://www.reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html

this is for a 12" Dcon

Enclosure Recommendations:

Sealed: .90 cu.ft.

Sealed: 1.20 cu.ft. optimal

Ported: 1.75 cu.ft. @ 28-33 hz

Ported: 2.25 cu.ft. @ 28-33hz opt.

Sub Outside Dia.: 12.500

Cut Inside Dia.: 11.150

Mounting depth: 6.500

Displacement: 0.14 ft^

My buddy has that same home theather sub its alright for the money if you want some bass but if your looking to shake the floor and have smooth accurate bass build your own and spend a little more money and time or just get a Velodyne subwoofer my 10inch 110watt vel make's that polk a joke in comparison......but 110rms for house not enough lol step up with the big boys like 1k+++ lol thats how chicks like it
