Powered sub's

One of my friend's ran one awhile back. Sounded pretty good. The new ones use a square sub and I think are better, Amazon has em' for $240.

These are great little premade sub&amp-in-a-box type setups...relatively cheap, effective, and decent sound quality. It is true, the new Basslink II has a square woofer...and as a side note: due to the physics of sound, a round woofer is going to produce more quality of sound than a square is, as any shape that isn't a round will have some sort of distortion penalties (though squares incorporate more surface area on the cone and thus produce higher SPL than the same size and power in a round). Just depends on where your preferences are. I used to have a 15" L7 square...but then again, I competed in SPL competitions...back in the day when SQ wasn't a big deal to me, lol.

The Basslink is, as you know 200W RMS vs. the II is 250W RMS, both 10" woofers. They're pretty tough little things too, so I doubt your dogs would be able to destroy one on accident, unless they specifically attack it...then that's a whole 'nother story. Be mindful of how you route the wires, as the dogs can easily chew them. I sold the original Basslink for some time, and installed a couple of them as well; it sounds fantastic if all you're looking for is a little more kick to your sound system, no major bass. I can't say I've had any personal experience with the Basslink II though...

Oh, and Amazon has some of both the original Basslink and the II in stock

I have one of these in my VX, had it for about 6 years myself. Couldn't ask for a better sound from such a small space with low cost. It's not going to wake up the neighborhood, but you will feel it and it's got great range.

It's also extremely tough. I have mine mounted facing up into the ceiling as it seemed too "loose" bass-wise pointing into the side. The grill is heavy duty and I've tossed all manner of stuff on top of it and never had an issue.

It's well worth the money as an easy, self-powered and tough solution.
