HI,
I have a pair of Kef satellite speakers and want to use it as computer speakers, So I'm looking for a sub that can hook up speakers. I don't really want to buy an amp as I have limited space on my desk.
Suggestions appreciated.

$100-$200
I believe you're looking for something like this
However I can't find any review for it, so you'd probably buy T-Amp and known brand subwoofer (new or secondhand).
If you have 8ohm speakers with 88dB sensitivity, listening from 1 meter away, with minimum 3dB headroom, using this calculator you will need total of 2 watts amp (1w each channel) to get the desired 88db sound level (safest level for 4 hrs listening)
Example combination:
- Topping TP10MK4 T-Amp (Tripath TA2024) link $76
- Sherwood SW10 (refurb) link $188
I only hear good thing about Topping amp and owned sherwood sw10 so I can recommend.Ok that Topping amp seems alright if it's that small, so I just need to get a sub and that topping amp then I'm ready to go?
Yes, but also need to plan proper wiring / get proper cables. You can run signal from PC to line input on your sub, and connect line out (note that not all subs have line out) to t-amp input. Alternatively you can split signal from pc to sub and t-amp. I would not recommend speaker line connection (high level), unless you can make sure with the manufacturer that the subs speaker input does not tied to ground. The reason is in the T-amp manual it is stated that you cannot connect any of its output to ground. I think you can do some more research on this.
I actually has a Topping D2 DAC, and I'm actually thinking of getting a pair of JBL LSR305 to hook it up with the DAC.
Yep.
What's your budget?

The Paradigm DR-100 or Yamaha NS-SW300 sounds right up your alley.
