Subwoofer Question

I'm looking to add a powered sub to my home stereo setup. Something in the $200-300 range. Any suggestions would be great. I'm looking for tight bass response (I listen to and spin 90% trance :D ) I just don't want my system to sound muddy, and I also don't want to spend a crapload.
This one caught my eye: Sony SA-WX700 10" 250 watt powered sub
Anyone heard this one in action? Could I do better? |

In this thread I made awhile ago DJ Chrono recommended the Dayton Loudspeaker Co. 10" Titanic Vance Subwoofer Kit

It costs 350 bucks and required some assemply but seems like a great deal. If I could afford spending that kind of money I would either get that or a new mixer.
PartsExpress sells the kit.
But I guess for a huundred dollars less the sony one you mention looks pretty good. People seem to like it over at AudioReview |

| For the 'tightest' bass that you are looking for, you're going to want to get a sealed enclosuer (no port). Unfortunately for you, in order to get quality, you're going to have to pay for it. That being said, theres a distinct possibility that you won't really notice a huge difference between say a $300 sub and an $800 sub. . . |

Thanks for the responses guys. Scott- I’ve got an Onkyo receiver and some decent bookshelf speakers. I just want to add some punch.
Looks like I can get the Sony for less than $200.....
:D By the sound of the reviews, it'll probably suit my needs nicely. |

| I bought a Yamaha SW315 (270 Watt) from best buy for $350 (though Amazon has it for $299). Does the job and I'm pretty happy with it. I also agree with djtrinity .. I was looking into buying a JBL pb12 .. couldn't find one locally so ended up getting a Yamaha. I hear CERWIN VEGA subs are good too. |
