RE: Thanks Kal and Rod

Pick choices that will be easier for you. You can use one sub, but it is harder to integrate. Much will depend on your room. You can get fairly simple subs, you may not need all the bells and whistles, but get one that goes fairly deep. I agree with Rod, line level is better IMO. This lets you get some bass from your mains (probably not much), this seems to help a little with integration. A sub with phase control will make life easier for you, most have that now. Your amp probably won't like driving a passive sub, so get a powered one. This brings up a separate issue- Keep in mind your outlet situation. Also, will this be for music or both music/video? Ported seems best for video. There's more BOOM! and chest thumps. Great for stomping Dinosaurs etc. Sealed tends to be faster and tighter but may not be as deep. That is my preference for music. Others may disagree.
Good luck with your quest.
