EQ for a pair of subs

I'm looking at possibly adding a pair of SVS subs (possibly SB12s)to my 2-channel rig and wondering what works best to help integrate them while also being user friendly. I know Kal has written favorably about the XTZ system and that's high on my radar, but anything else in the sub-$1000 worth looking at?

Also, looks like a pair of SB12s would run around $1200 and seems like a pretty good deal. Do you guys think they're enough to get to a legitimate near full range sound in a medium-sized room or do I need to go bigger? Any others I should look at in this price range? Thanks for thoughts.

Thanks guys, this is a big help and I'm looking into all of it. I'm planning on stereo bass and looks like the SMS only has the ability to employ one filter across multiple subs (unless I'm missing something), so not sure that would work. The DSpeaker 2.0 looks interesting as does Audyssey. Anybody use XTZ out there?

Dumb question, but can any of these units or anything else work optimally without inserting anything between my pre and amp? My pre has two sets of outputs if that helps.

Also looking into Rythmik, but the SVS deal looks like it might be hard to beat for the price. Thanks again guys.
