What is the volume of the room

What is your budget

I'm not an audiophile, but I like to rock, and know if Gin and Juice don't sound right.

I've always like Polk; after doing house installs with other brands in the 90s I always liked their construction better. I also have two Onkyos.

I've hauled around a 10" Polk (PSW10) for over a decade that's almost too much for the living room. Daughter will come down complaining that she hears things when she's trying to sleep if I don't crank the sub down (in a 5200 sq foot house, and she's on the opposite side).

In the theater, Acoustic Audio 12" that was maybe $140. Good enough to scare the kids during Jurassic Park and for me not to notice it during AC/DC Live at River Plate.

Speakers are 10000% marketing for in-wall (edit: I meant stuff that goes into rooms including subwoofers. I pay more attention to the center channel than anything else). Other than build materials and warranty, physics is physics, and the electrical measurements (responses, power, etc.) are the best measurement to start with.

Even better, if you buy a $100 sub and hate it, you can move it to the play room and buy a different brand for $140-$250 and your wife won't want to stab you.
