Hello, I recently just purchased some AudioEngine A5+'s to use as speakers for my pc gaming/movie setup.
I read these could be paired up with a subwoofer to provide more powerful bass.
I did some research around and found so many different subs to choose from but all from really old articles (2010-2012).
I was hoping someone could recommend me a good sub.
1. Room is 12ft x 10ft.
2. They need to hook up to my AudioEngine A5+'s. (I also purchased a Schiit Modi 2 DAC to improve audio quality)
3. Budget is $350. I really don't want to go over this, and I wouldn't mind a cheaper solution.
4. Need sub with lots of power and sound quality for listening to music while gaming and watching movies.
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Bump.
Anyone please? Forgot to mention my room's 10ft high. So, 1200 cubic feet.

Premier Acoustics 150, 30hz and up, those who have them seem to like'em. for gaming and music it'll make you happy. You may miss some ulf on movies though

In that price range, the best-rated that I considered was a NXG BAS-500 (roughly $283 at Amazon). More than one reviewer tried to overdrive it, and couldn't. Reviews said it was well suited for music, which seems to be the higher requirement of a sub (any cheap sub can do some boom-boom for a movie).

But for a few ducats more, you could get the Hsu VTF-1 if the sale price is still active. I just got a VTF-2, and am supremely impressed with it.

If you were willing to stretch your budget just another $50 Reaction Audio has a great deal on a B-stock BPS-212 sub. That's a dual opposed sub with two 12" drivers and a 350watt amp. It comes with a full warranty for $399 shipped.

Currently one of the best deals IMO. If it has a full warranty, there is no reason to be frightened about purchasing B-Stock!

yea it's a bummer that Reaction quit offering that model. It is getting harder to find good subs in the 4-500.00 range for those on a budget or simply do not need all the extra headroom.

I agree. I also felt that way when they retired the dual-opposing 12-inch driver models. But business is business, and I'm sure Jeremy felt there wasn't a lot of profit to be had with these two models.

For that budget I think dual $200 subs is probably a better option.

Or a PA-150..

But I do wish more quality subs were in the $400 range...I mean, you can wait until a sub closes out. I got my LFM-1 Plus for $450 shipped - that was new also.

Do you know where I can buy a PA-150 for around $350? It's 500 on amazon but I've read around you can buy it for less than 400. I'm having trouble finding it though.

Go to the Premier Acoustic's website and submit an offer. Often one can get this sub for under $400, and a few have gotten them for as low as $350.

I offered $350 and they replied saying they can go as low as $400. Good deal?

Go to eBay and make an offer for $350 for the PA-150 from the seller sound distributors and they will likely accept it.
