What to look for in a sub?

I've been pretty happy with my HT setup using a Yamaha RX-V1, a mix set of speakers from Definitive, Paradigm, Acoustic Research, and a really old Fosgate subwoofer. (Most of the fund goes to the 2-channel audio setup) I am moving to a new house with a smaller living room, and the sub is too big. (30"W x 30"L x 15" H) I need to find a replacement sub that will fit into the new living room. What criteria should I look for in a sub? Also any suggestions for a good sub (new or used) in the $800 range would be greatly appreciated, active or passive. (I currently have a Marantz 50w monoblock driving the Fosgate).

The Earthquake Supernova 12" subwoofer can be had for around that price, maybe a smidge more new, and it makes a very hard hitting, very low playing, excellent blending subwoofer that will put out lots of low bass output at volume in even larger rooms if need be! It's better than just about anything commercially available in that price range for shear output and integration/excitement factor!
Good luck
