Deciding on a subwoofer... Maimon Mons 01-16-07

Hi.
I have a 5 speaker home theater system but no subwoofer at this time.
I'm certainly looking for most bang for the buck and not "the best
money can buy". :-)
My problem is finding the right subwoofer for my room. The room is a
family room that is about 15 foot x 15 foot. The problem is, it's got a
20 foot ceiling and a lot of open space in the back (it kind of opens up
into the kitchen).

What sort of subwoofer should I get (how many amps?)

As an added problem, for logistical reasons, I would prefer getting a
subwoofer that is no more than 15 inches wide and deep (height doesn't
matter too much).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well, when you come up with a likely purchase,
compare it to this.....

I built the 15" one in about an hour.
