Sub Upgrade from Polk PSW10 ???

[matthewrounds]

I have gotten the bug to upgrade my sound system again! I recently upgraded my center to a Polk CS2 from a Polk CS1. Now I want to get a little nicer sub. Here is my present 7.1 setup:

Polk Monitor 50 (left, right)
Polk CS2 (center)
Polk Monitor 30 (four total for the rears)
Polk PSW10 (sub)
Onkyo tx-sr606

I only spent about $100 on the Polk PSW10 sub new, so a reasonable upgrade for me is about $200-$300. I can purchase used or refurbished too. I am the type who likes incremental improvements so I am not looking to spend much more than my budget will allow.

Thanks in advance.

This is what you want. Best sub in it's price range. I own one and cannot say enough good things about it.

Sell your sub and get some money back. Then get the eD A2-300, like Jason said. I have one and think it's a great subwoofer, especially for the price.

I plan to do this, but the $300 ceiling already includes the money I would get from the sale.

Edit: After looking at the link, I can probably pull this off. Will I still use the audio coax from the receiver to the sub? Will I connect this sub differently that the one I presently have? I need to know what if any other cables I will need to purchase.

I wouldn't settle, scrounge for the 15 dollars if you have to. It will probably save you from future upgraditis....

eD a2-300! By a long shot - I'll be the third to highly recommend it, even though I don't own it like Jason.

And your wire is fine,

[matthewrounds]

The next obvious question, is where to find this at the lowest price.

[JasonR]

The link I posted is the only place you can purchase it.

Thanks for the generic post. If you read the original post I specify a budget. by the way if you want to search the web for something:

www.yahoo.com
www.google.com

Edit: I know you are just trying to be helpful, but I guess I resent posts that don't help. I suppose this one I am making now could be classified as such.

Matt,

Here is a useful link for the eD sub.

I'm not there?

There is a picture of you behind the sub.

I bet that a2-300 already smashed it to pieces. Good thing you hid it well,

[matthewrounds]

Here is a pic of my setup:

Believe it or not there is enough room for the new sub. I left room to upgrade!

Loving the homemade tv stand and rack there,

The eD is a Big Beasly of a sub. Look at the sizes of the ones higher up on the eD scale - some go as big as 8 cubic feet or even 16 cubic feet for the A7-900, I think....

Thanks, I got the idea from someone here. Putting it together was a lot of fun. I left room for an XBOX 360 and a Wii next to the PS3. My goal was to put the AV Rack next to the TV, but I don't have enough room on the same wall.

eD sells it direct only. Their shipping is free too. It's the way to go.
