I forgot to post a couple other things.... since last post things had changed. but before i packed up i was using the Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 Digital Desktop 5.1 system Though changed out the wimpy sub for this:

a 12" 600w Clarion proaudio Sub in a big ol ported box( Height,1ft xDepth,1.5ft xLength,2ft).
Im in an apartment style housing in res, so if they complained withthe whimpy why they didnt when i got a bigger sub i dont know.
