Don't waste your money on the pre-fab self amplified subwoofers. They are a compromise at best. Anything in a plastic enclosure is going to sound bad. The amplifiers all have inflated power ratings and are extreamly poor quality. The drivers are very, very cheap and are not even made by the manufacture that produces them. They are typically made of paper with cheap foam surround and have small magnets and have very limited suspension so excursion is limited.
I would also recommend Zenclosures, get a good 10 or 12 and decent 250Watts RMS or greater amplifier. It will all cost about the same and the later will sound 10X better.
