Ughhh! I hate you upgraditis and want a new subwoofer

[BACsader]

Hello all,

So, I have quite a bit of money coming to me and have decided to get a good subwoofer, even though that I have an okay one that I bought about a year ago, maybe a little more. Let's be honest here, the PSW111 is a good sounding sub, but it can be a little boomy and it has no punch and is not able to produce the lower end like my car's subwoofer can. I am looking at either an 8" or a 10" and would like to keep it under $500. As much as I would like to give Elemental Designs a try, I don't want a unit that big and ultimately want a front firing unit with a down firing passive subwoofer. I also want the frequency range to start at about 20hz to get the sound I want, which probably means I need a 10". I am open to many suggestions and look forward to your imput. Damn you upgraditis. When will it end?
