ill give you the answer i think you are waiting for-plain and simple if you want good music to move to the m22s need a sub(which can be budgeted since the m22s are inexpensive). I guess you could compair the bass output of the m22s to a decent car audio system. Maybe a little less. Which isnt bad, but i think with a sub you should be fine. As long as its a good sub.

Hope that helps
