I prefer the powered sub for ultimate control of the clarity of the lower frequencies. Before you purchase a powered sub be sure your tuner has a sub output that sends the unamplified signal to your sub speaker. Do not use a speaker output to a powered sub-----that sends an already amplified signal that would probably be distorted when you then amplify it again with the amplifier that is internal in a powered sub. Also choose a powered sub that has a cross-over control that allows you to select the frequencies of the signal that is amplified by the sub. You can then control the sound the way you want it according to the acoustics in your room.
