Need a tight sub for my JBL speakers. Any suggestions?Enigma_tx

I recently got

two S312 floor standing speakers by JBL
two S38s
S-Center center channel speaker

Now Ive heard many nasty things about the PB12 sub by JBL and stuff about the amp they got in there. Well now im considering another sub and im not sure which one would be best. I prefer anything over 250 watts and atleast 12". I'd appreciate the help.

Well I'm willing to pay till 800$ and the sub is supposed to lie in a 23x25 game room upstairs. I'm more of a sound quality guy and a lil pounding is also cool. I want something that can last cuz its gonna be playing like almost all day. I'm not an audiophile so I'm looking for some good advice.

Given those dimesions you are almost certainly looking at needing dual subs. However, one option would be the HSU VTF-2. Another would be the Aperion Audio SW-12. Perhaps the Adire Audio Dharman would work for you. DIY is your best bet and will give you a wonderful sub well under budget. If you have something to power them with, I'd also consider dual SVS 25-31CS subs or used 20-39CS subs. If not, the single 20-39CS w/amp should also work. A Paradigm PW-2200 is another good option.
How about this idea...Scott2k

If you're happy with the other JBL speakers, why not try dual PB12's? $300 ea at JandR.com (authorized dealer). Had mine for over a year now and no problems yet.
