I know there's a few home audio buffs in here that can help me out. I'm looking for some good bass extension and I think a subwoofer will really help me out. I'm currently using JBL S38s (Studio series 3-way bookshelf with 8" woofer) as my mains (they're awesome for the price I paid- $300/pair). My budget is <$600. My biggest problem is that the room is very large- about 8000 cubic feet (about 40x20x10, carpeted floor, hard walls). I get good sound from the JBLs, but I'd like a little more bass. The setup is only for parties/music- no home theater, but it'd be nice if the sub works there too, if I decide to change things around in a smaller room. Do any of you have any suggestions? I'm currently looking at the Infinity PS12 (12", 300 watt RMS).

Excellent recomendation.
They are good subs, Also you can find some nice, although used, velodynes on various sites. Try www.audiogon.com
I have the same speakers (S38's, including the voice matched center channel). I love 'em, really well built, high quality and very accurate sound. I have an Infinity brand amplified sub attached to my reciever as well and the overall sound is great.
I've also been looking at the SVS PB-10 (I think that's the model)- 10" sub, 300 watt amp, $429+ shipping. I'm checking daily to see if there's a b-stock one that I can get for cheaper. I've read an extensive review on the comparison between the Infinity and SVS, and the Infinity faired well, except for the 25 Hz and below. I was looking if there's any other options out there that I haven't heard of yet. I've checked Axiom, Ascend, Hsu, and Velodyne, but the previous two are liked better.clr1024 said:
