hello all. After having my system for 8 years I decided to upgrade with a subwoofer which I should have bought long ago. I have a Dennon 60 watt per chan. receiver,definitive tech. bp6 fronts, procenter c2 center, and promonitor100 satelites. The system is used for music, xbox360, and some movies. Right now I'm considering a definitive tech. prosub800 or velodyne vrp1200. Are these compatabe with my system? I really don't want to spend much more than the $400 that the prosub800 cost. Any other subs recommended will also be considered.

Thanks

A little over budget but may I suggest this from part express

I own the 10 and 15 inch. Super easy to put together and trust me when I say these are some very nice sounding subs.

I have no experience with the other 2 you are looking at so maybe someone else will chime in on that.

I too have no experience with Def Tech prosub800, or Velodyne,
but I have 2 of the 10" Titanic MKIII subs and for the price they
are great performers, on sale for $315, free shipping........link:

Also a HSU STF-2 for $380 shipped would be a good choise
IMO. 10" woofer, 200W amp, and ext down to 25 Hz.....link:

Good luck with whatever you choose....and welcome to the forum....vardo

I typically recommend Velodyne to people who are wanting to spend about what you are, they have a large selection of subs that meet a large variety of budgets.
