I have a 12X17 room that I am setting up a HT in.
60% movies/sports
20% games (ps3)
20% music

complimenting the ps3 and plasma with a 5.1 system. The room was already wired with monster speaker cable and I will only be here 1 year. my budget was $600 otd for reciever, speakers and sub.

So far I have the following:

onkyo sr606 (factory reman) $284 otd
polk rm10 sats and center (factory reman) $178 otd

this leaves me with $140 for the sub

Currently looking at the following subs:

Dayton SUB100 for about $150
Velodyne-VX10 for about $170
BIC Venturi for about $150
Phoenix Gold PSW-10 for about $130

Please let me know your thoughts or any other suggestions.

First system set up here so your help is much appreciated.

I'd probably go with the Velodyne. Or maybe the Dayton Sub-120 (for a bit more output.)

I'm not fond of BIC's non-Acoustech subs. The Phoenix Gold, I've never heard, but I've never seen it recommended much, either.

Save up (or find) some more money. You''ll be glad you did. Trust me (us).

Agree totally with the recommendations to save up but out of your choices I'd go with the VX-10 hands down.
