Is a 150 watt sub for a home theater good?

We have a Sony home theater system, but have no subwoofer for it. I am looking online for subs, but don't know much about them. Is a 150 watt good enough? We don't need anything spectacular (not looking to spend a huge amount), but just want some good bass for realism for the surround when watching movies. Thanks! Also, if you have any recommendations that would be great!

150 watts should be plenty. An 8" is probably large enough, and Velodyne and Polk are two brands worth looking at, but given your non-demanding critieria almost any sub will probably work ... if it has the right connections.

If your A/V receiver has a subwoofer (sometimes called LFE) output (an RCA jack), you can get a sub with a low level input (again just an RCA jack). If not you will need a sub with speaker terminals. You wire the speaker to the sub speaker output terminals and connect the receiver speaker terminals to the sub input terminals. The sub crossover takes the low frequency sounds and sends the mid/high frequencies on to the speakers. See the link for a photo and discussion.
