External Subwoofer for Laptops

So I just got a laptop and we all know laptops notoriously have bad audio. I picked up an Acer M5 -583P-6423 (got for $320 what a steal). As far as I can tell everything sounds great, except for the bass. The tremendous lack of bass is kind of annoying for me. So are there any external subwoofer for laptops that run off USB and is relatively small (small enough for a backpack w/ school stuff)?

I found the Saitek PZ09A but I can't find anywhere to buy it and I would need to get a dedicated port for a subwoofer.

 

No such thing as a small subwoofer. Blame physics.

I guess what I mean by small is slim (under 1.5 inches) it could be an 8 or 12 inch sub and I could fit in my backpack. It is just the thickness that matters.

Again, physics. You have to have room for the voice coil, which is the thickest part of a subwoofer. There are some car subwoofers that are "slim", but that doesn't account for the enclosure, amplifier, or DAC. Also they're usually expensive.
