So I am at the point of adding a subwoofer and am looking for a litle advice (I know there is a seperate subwoofer forum, but everyone that knows squat about speakers is on this forum).
I am looking for a budget job, prefereably delivered for less than $250, but less is better (used or refurbished units). I listen to about 50:50 music (rock, alt country, punk, etc.) and movies; so something that handles music well is important as well as having at least some "rumble".
My existing system is an Onkyo SR502, lite on LVW 5005 (dvd/cd), Mirage omni 60 (fronts, have a bit of bass by themselves), and bose 161 (surrounds; yes, yes Bose I know, but they work well as surrounds)
From my own research it seems that Velodyne and Energy make good subs, not to mention M&K; anything in my price range from those? So now to the peanut gallery 
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance.

I am also looking seriously at the Wharfedale Powercube 10. I have heard good things.
Anyone agree or disagree? |

Hsu STF-1 for $299 plus a little for shipping. Maybe you can get a B-stock.

For 250 I would suggest a DIY Dayton from partsexpress.com.
Another option would be a B-stock CSW Basscube12 for $180 off ebay. If you went that option I would get a pack of polyfill from Walmart too. |

Whatever you do don't buy the Klipsch 10 at Costco. I seems like a reasonable price, but then my research turned up that they keep blowing fuses.
