So my alternatives will most likely run up to or surpass the $300 mark... A more friendly option thats closer to sub $200 and more complete system (subwoofer included in the price this time)


would be the trusty Dayton combo

Dayton B652 Air ($49) :

cheap amplifier which will do the job of powering them well enough: ($32)

Dayton SUB1000 100 watt 10" sub woofer $133:

I haven't reached the point where those speakers start to distort. I dont think my ears could take it.

Best option in your budget would be these: http://philharmonicaudio.com/aa.html paired with used amp/receiver for 50-100$ from craigslist.

i meant as u get more drunk , u pay less attention to clarity

Ordered one of these on Friday, should arrive in a week or two.

Cool. Never heard of them before.

Have you ? compared to similarly priced subs from Velodyne or SVS.

I got one of these already, so yes. Imo they offer better value than SVS. I would say BK is best value in European market currently by far. In states there is more competition and you should look at PSA, HSU, Rythmik or SVS as importing BK would raise the cost quite a lot I believe.

BK is UK based company and they build and design all their subs themselves. BK has also manufactured subs for REL and to some other companies as well and they have been on business for quite long.

On sale again if you missed it last year.

Pretty nice deal again!

Interesting. Will see if I ever get a chance of listening
