I am finishing up a room for 7.1

I started with a great deal on 7 in-Ceiling SpeakerCraft Aim 8 Ones (installed).

I purchased the Onkyo TX-SR805 (have it).

Now I need a powered Subwoofer. Crutchfield suggested the Polk Audio PSW-125. SpeakerCraft suggested the BassX-10.

I am trying to stay under the $300 price range.

I am looking for an on the floor unit to go in my room that is 16 foot wide by 21 foot long and open in the back of the room. The ceiling is flat and 10 foot high.

We primarily watch movies...

Thanks in advance for your help/thoughts/advice.

You can get the BIC 100 subwoofer off EBay for $229.

I guess it is better than the BassX-10 or Polk PSW125?

If you can go over the $300 to the $400 level, you can get into an A2-300 (http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_41&products_id=407) for ~$400 delivered.

I would save up for the eD but go with the BIC if you have to

I do not know if better, but I've never seen a post about someone disappointed with their BIC 100.
