Subwoofer recommendation

Hi AudioGon community,

I'm looking for a used sub that would integrate well into my system and where I can purchase.
The sub is for music playback and I want it to blend seamlessly with the Revel speakers and not be difficult to place or set sub settings. My max budget is $400-500.

I have Revel M106 speakers and a Plinnius 1800 Integrated Amp.  The integrated amp has preout  and loudspeaker connections (no sub out).

Room is approx 12' x 12'.  Please also recommend cables. I've read a lot about subwireless systems, sub eq systems but its a bit overwhelming.

So far my considerations are:
SVS SB12
Revel Concerta B120
Rel T1

  Thanx for your help AG folks, Fred

Obviously I'm not keeping up with the folks in Morgan Hill.

A long pair of Blue Jeans interconnects would wrap it up nicely.

I owned the Velodyne for over a year until we downsized to a smaller place.  Very good customer service too. Sent me a new grill quickly when one of the posts was damaged in shipping.  
Quality was very good.

Capitola is about 45 minutes from Digital Drive. Using my third generation of Velodyne a pair of DD 12 Plus. I've been there a few times over the years because of my own mistakes and they have been generous. 

The EQ Max seems to be a well conceived yet economical DSP processor. At this price more two channel users will discover the usefulness of remote adjustability and get a taste of the DD potential.

I am very pleased with the DSpeaker Antimode 8033 equalization. I would never again use a sub without this or something similar. It is far more important than the choice of the sub itself.
Your room is small, so you do not want a sub that goes very low or is too bulky. SVS SB1000 comes to mind, even if the combination with the Antimode exceeds your budget.
