I am looking for a subwoofer to replace my existing one. Let me tell you about my system right now. I have 2 Fisher bookshelf-like speakers plugged into a small subwoofer i took off a karaoke machine. They are plugged in via the red and black connectors on the back of the unit. I then have the RCA cables leading out of the subwoofer, and into the jack on my computer. I have been noticing very little bass response when listening to the Fishers, and i was wondering if i bought a bigger subwoofer, i could hear and feel the bass when i listen to music or play games? Like i don't have a budget, i won't go higher than $120. I was looking at the Infinity TSS-SUB450C

What do you guys think?

Are the bookshelf speakers active or passive? Do they need to go through an external amp to be powered before going to a source?

Yea, they need to be plugged into an amp/receiver with those red/black wires to work.

The low priced Tannoy subs are good value.
