I have a couple of the 250 watt modules from PE. . .they work great. On sale at PE for $119, but I do not know what shipping would be if you are not in the US. Another problem, is from what I find, it looks like that is a 8 ohm driver, so the amp would actually only be 180 watts. . . .

The sonotube works GREAT. 2 problems:
1. The wife acceptance is not as high as you would think. Better show her the picture of mine and make sure she would like it. Make sure she knows it is 24" in diameter (that is where I got in trouble) and 5 ft tall.
2. At very loud volumes, mine jumps off the ground over 1". Of course I am using a sub with 3" of excursion, and I drive 1000 watts RMS to it. Your setup might not have this problem, and it could always be braced to the wall or floor as I will do when I move the sub to a Home theater room (live in an apartment right now).

Good Luck!!
Brian
