JBL subs generally suck, I would look elsewhere.
Closest in your price range would be Athena as-p4000 at $150, as-p6000 at $250 or Acoustech H-100 at $250. Google them up for dealers. |

Kalia,
$180.00 for that sub is a good price. That was a good budget buy. For the speakers you have the HK 335 Should work fine. Also, you might want to consider buying a Klipsch center channel to try to match your fronts.
Good luck |

vader...i ended up buying the 635..there was not much differece...but the only reason why I have the bose vcs10 center channel is because I got that for a very cheap price....
now my issue is that the sub is not powerful AT ALL...for some reason it does not power up the subwoofer....and I know it is a minor thing...I just ndon't know what to change on the receiver... |

Congrats on the 635...Have you set your speakers on your Receiver? With your set up I would set the fronts and center to "small" and the Sub-Woofer to 10". DId you try the EZSet/EQ on th 635? |

I just set it successfully - don't know excately what I did but I am going to reset it - and then see what happens...on the side note -
For the JBL = retail was 329 and I paid 150 BRAND NEW....

Which Klipsch 10"? The Synergy Sub-10 has had good reviews. |

thanks peter....the synergy sub-10 - but you see while both can be had for 150 US $ - the Klipsch is a floor model at BEST BUY where as the JBL was brand new... 
I am so confused - I just don't want to regert this decision... |

kalia,
put your mind at ease: buy the Klipsch, compare its performance to the JBL, and return the one you like less.
One of BB's few redeeming qualities is its return policy, after all... |

aaah....you see - I think that the Klipsch rocks..it has the typical base....but the jbl has a lot tighter base...- but klipsch is more powerful..and matches with my slx speakers...and it has two speaker connections in teh back..and it looks more intimidating....
I want to get the best bang for my buck....
AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |

I'm surprised that the JBL has tighter bass than the Klipsch. Have you heard both in the same environment? |

kalia, if the only reason you're stressing out is because the Klipsch is not brand new like the JBL then I think you really shouldn't.
A floor model from BB has the same return policy as brand new, if I remember correctly. Just examine it really closely to make sure it doesn't show any obvious signs of abuse, take it home and test it out thoroughly. |

yep..in the same environment - klipsch is louder but jbl is tighter....
The klipsch itself has a some scratch on the edge of the bottom part - but no damage per se...I am going to call klipsch and find out how old it is.....
How can I test these woofers??? - I mean other than the obvious - movies and music... |

Kalia, if you can't test with your ears, the test is over. |

Believe it Peter. The JBL SUB10 is much tighter than the Klipsch Synergy Sub-10. I think the JBL SUB10 goes a little lower than the Klipsch Synergy Sub-10 but am not certain if it simply seems so because it has such a tighter sound. I was totally surprised. I like the older model JBL speakers, but have not been impressed by their more recent products. I saw the JBL SUB10 at a local shop for only $150 and tried it on a whim. Now, I need to figure out how to get rid of my Klipsch Synergy Sub-10. |
