I am using my old REL r305 in my second system. It was in my main system for 16 years. That is a 2:1 ratio given the subs original $1600 price.
My main system has a pair of Forte IV. I needed a sub last year but my daughter was getting married so I needed to keep the budget tight.
I don't always use a sub in that room. Mostly for movies. I ended up buying an Earthquake MiniMe dsp12 for $675 delivered. It turned out to be a really good sub for the money. Has DSP room EQ. So that's about 8:1.
In a perfect world I would have a REL Carbon or something like that in there but maybe someday.
