Small room sub help....


I've updated my audio end all but sub. IMO, it's the weakest link in my chain.
I have a Sony SA-WM40 that's 7-8 years old. Got it for $79, so I've got my money's worth. It doesn't do a terrible job - decent rumble actually. It's just that I tend to push it more now that it's in a "dedicated" room. (Moved sysytem from family room to small bedroom to be off adjoining neighbor wall in TH complex.) SPL gets outta hand in here quick, but even when moderate levels, I notice the chuffing more & bottoming out. Now, I just recently did the poly fill mod (can't believe I didn't try this before)
and it mad a noticeable improvement. Actually pretty satisfactory in here. Plus, I''m in the process of doing some traps. But, well, I just know I can do better. And wanna move the sub to the bedroom the old system is in. Looking to spend $300 TOPS so, considering X-ls XPlossive (when it comes online) or Acoustech H100.
Any suggestions????
