    What is your budget?

    SVS is a forum favorite, but HSU, and Dayton(inexpenisive) are viable solutions.

    Again, might I recommend the SVS PB 10 ISD. This thing hits hard, hits low, and is tight and accurate w/ music and movies. Return of the King and Master and Commander are true experiences with this thing in play. Sounds like you have an excellent setup right now.
    If your budget is $500, the PB 10 is absolutely your best option. Nothing else at that price can even come close. Don't know your room size, but I have an average sized living room with two large openings to other areas of the house, and the sub shakes the room from the ground up. Truly the best entry level sub I've experienced. Don't listen to dealers who tell you to spend $800 on a Def Tech cube or an Earthquake sub. Go for SVS and never look back.
    Check out the sub here.
