Best Big Sub? or duals?

I just moved and my HT is a 25 x 30' room in the basement with concreat floors. My current sub a vandersteen is to musical and just not big enought to have any effects, I also have a 15" velodyne that just about cuts it but doesn't really shake the room and the sweet pot is to narrow, probably because of lack of power my old house this did great in. I am using all vandersteen speakers so they are really fast I need a good fast sub or two that will shake the room. Any sugestions cost is not a big issue just want to do it right and don't want to spend more than I have to.

I own a single F113 and all I can say, WOW! There isn't anything it can't do. I have tried it in three different locations in my living room, none of them being where it should go (my living room is wierd), and it sounded amazing in all three positions. It is the one piece of my system that I don't think will ever be outperformed.
I can't even imagine what a pair of them would do!

Jp1208, my room is comparable size except I have 8 foot ceilings. The adjustments, and automatic calibration is well worth it when it comes to sound quality are worth whatever it might cost above some of the other subs people have mentioned. I thought is sounded good, then I ran the auto calibration and it was like night and day! I used to have a Paradigm PDR12 which I thought sounded good with my fronts, but the Fathom blends even better with them.
Some day I hope to have a space that can handle 2 Fathoms. I think the structural integrity of my home would be compromised if I had 2 in it!
