What's your budget and what size subs can you fit? 18 inch drivers?

What is your budget?

Will you be doing the box-building yourself?

Do the boxes need to be pretty?

How much floor space does each sub need to fit into? Can you go as tall as you need to?

Are you planning on having the sub amp in the same room as your main listening position?

Is there a specific reason you want four subwoofers and not just one or two?

Do you need to just cater for one seating position or a couple of sofas worth of people?

Are you in a detached house / semi-detached house / apartment?

Do you have a laptop?

Do you have a microphone?

Have you downloaded Room EQ Wizard so you can work out the best position for any subs and measure your response at the listening position(s)?

Have you downloaded WinISD so you can model your desired choice of driver and box size/setup?

Are you in the USA? (You have said $500 not £500.)
