Inexpensive but decent 8" subwoofers


My current setup is Bluesound Powernode (N330) -> Blueroom Minipods

Which obviously isn't a high end system, but balances decent sound with sleek looks.

Looking for a 8" subwoofer which won't break the bank. Bonus points if it also looks good/minimal!

Well the most expensive ones on my list are 500 USD, but SVS 3000 micro although it looks nice, is listed at 900 USD. 


I am sure I can get it cheaper used, but that doesn't mean I can get it at sub-500 prices probably.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

So based on the price range and the appearance, I have narrowed it to the following ( in approximate order of price, low to high):

Kanto Sub 8

Jamos S 808

Monolith 8 

Audioengine S8

RSL Speedwoofer 10s MKII

Tzero MKIII

Sonos sub

Any of these that I should specifically avoid? Any of these that punch above their weight in terms of sound quality?

The speakers that I have are supposed to be "quick" and hence I was looking for 8" in the first place.
