What sub should I get, and how do I set it up with my reciever?

[Hackzzila]

So, I have Bose 301 Series V Speakers and a DRA-295 2-channel Reciever and im looking for a good sub. How do I hook it up, i know i can, but i dont know how, and what do i get? It has to look good with my speakers and it cant cost to much. Thanks in advance.

On your backpanel of your receiver, you have a pre-out, use that with a couple of RCA cables for the sub. Most subs are only mono, so they just take one lead, just use either of the sides of the RCA output. Which sub to pair them with? Just get any decent 8" or 10" sub and place it correctly in the room. You have to compromise somewhere, because of your budget constraint.

I agree with what Cheebaron said. Some subs also have high level inputs (and sometimes outputs), in case you prefer to go that route.

How much is too much?

 

These are bang/buck options if you have the space for either one:
