Affordable musically fast subwoofer

I am looking into acquiring an affordable and musically accurate subs, which will pick on the lower end notes of my Horn loaded single driver fullrange speakers. Besides those terrible 100+lbs subwoofers that retail 2-3k, is there something out there that is not necessarily hernia producing but that will actually be quick and musical enough for my horns?
The RELs are too expensive....decent used ones about1k+
The ACI Titan, seems to be decent, but still too heavy and moderatedly expensive at 1K+
The VBT Magellans, sophisticated, but the full set up, I wonder how good.
what about those mini SUNFIRE subs?
Any other ones that are easy to acquire in the used market?

I have a Parts Express $100 special in my basement home theatre system. After breakin I have to say that I like it in that capacity, a lot. Now, I don't listen to music in that system - only movies. YMMV

I have a REL Strata III in my main rig and it certainly blows away the cheap sub. But the REL wouldn't work in the home theatre system at all. Each for it's purpose according to its strengths.

Enjoy,
Bob
