Erik,
It seems the "voice of reason" has taken over the later part of this thread. Bravo! It's great that you have a budget and aren't going to let others talk you into spending more money than you have readily available to you at this time. I commend you for sticking to your guns!
If you are going to stick to around $200, you might want to look at the PartsExpress DIY sub. They sometimes show up here or you could buy a new one and assemble it. I think it is $200, but it may be a bit more. Sorry if I'm recommending something over your budget.
Both the NHT and Pinnacle Baby Boomer will be out of your budget at about $350-450 used.
I do sometimes see a less expensive Pinnacle sub on AudiogoN for $199 new. I'm not familiar with it myself, but I've heard good things about it.
Good luck and enjoy,
TIC
