As trponhunter stated in his post - integration is key. And I recommend getting at least 2 subs and making sure they're positioned correctly in your room. I have used SVSound, Velodyne, Energy and JL Audio in the past with great results. Currently I'm using 2 JBL Synthesis 12's in my set up and it is fantastic. (side note: I messed around with stereo vs mono and the best results -after a ton of listening- is mono for me)
If I had to buy a sub today, I would def go with SVSound, regardless of cost. They have a great in home trial period. No nonsense engineering or marketing hocus pocus.
No matter how much you spend or the brand you get - if you don't position them right / get the crossover point right - the set up won't sound right.
