Need Small Subwoofer for A Digital Soundbar

-- Mon, 12/29/2008 - 14:37

I would appreciate any recommendations for a small subwoofer under $300(or thereabouts) for use with a Yamaha YSP 3050 Digital Sound Projector.  Yamaha recommends the YST FSW050, but I don't know anything about subwoofers or what to look for when buying one.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, for your purposes almost any subwoofer from a well-known company will fill your needs.  
 
You don't need anything larger than a single 10" driver to keep up with the sound-bar. I would look on the web at the small subs from Aperion, Axion, and AV123. They all have units that are within your price-point and they all can offer you good service.
 
If you have a local dealer I would look at units from PSB, Paradigm, and Earthquake. These are only a few brands of many that you may find locally. The most important thing is to make sure that whatever you buy has a cross-over built in as well as level and phase controls.
