Great speakers, need a sub though, i have no idea how to hook one up. Also if i change volume on the speakers will it lower volume on the sub.
 
Also i'm in the uk where could i find a cheap small sub?
 
Thanks

You would probably want to find a sub that has can accept a line input and output a line signal. A good example is the SVS SB-1000.
 
But what is your setup right now? Line out from the computer to the speakers?

No. You will not be able to integrate a sub with the A2s such that you can turn the volume down on the A2s and have it turned down on the sub. The A2s are not designed to work with that way.

You need a powered sub that has RCA inputs and outputs. Connect the computer to the sub via the RCA inputs, then run the RCA outputs on the sub to the A2s. Once you get the volume of the sub and A2s integrated so that the bass is balanced, then use your computer to control the volume from then on.
