I've got a set of krk rokit 5s - they are lovely monitors but I find the lack of bass dissapointing sometimes - can anyone reccomend a sub (studio sub - do they exist) for the bottom end?

KRK do a sub to complement their Rokit range, I think it's called the RP10S. thumbsup

agree with stu Krk would be your best option for a sub as they will have a balanced sound with there own monitors

As Jon said it's balanced to complement the Rokit range and looks sweet. I've got RP6's and was thinking of getting one of these but I don't have the space fot it at the moment. I know what you mean about these monitors, they have a nice punchy bass response but for the real low end they do struggle.

Hmm I've got no desk space for this either - what do subs sound like when stuffed under a desk?

I dont recommend subs for mixdowns unless they are Studio quality (maybe the KRK's are what you need) and placement is important to get the right bass...boxing them in further will only colour the sound.

But for DJ mixing... go for it.
