Help finding a subwoofer

I want a subwoofer that meets the following criteria.

1. 12 inch driver max size. Or 8 inch driver plus passive driver. Or 10 inches driver.

2. Android or IPhone or iPad app to change settings anytime I want.

3. Speaker high level inputs.

Please if you know any let me know.

System is for music primarily movies completely secondary. I really have two systems that can use the sub(s). Main drivers do not go low. On set is Cain and Cain single Ben with Fostex 8 inch driver. the other Martin Logan Motion 15, these are nice small speakers that Are not expensive.

Thanks for your contributions

My 18" subwoofer was as easy to tonally integrate as the two 12" and the 10."

Using all four subs in the same room essentially eliminated the rooms bass modes and reduced the demand of a single sub. The two crawl test located 12s subs eliminated all but one bass mode in an unused corner of my room. A single located sub should sound fine at the listening position. Your results may vary.

There is no SUBstitute, welcome to the deep end.

alanpiga, I'm sure I'm missing something regarding your sub requirements.

I see Cain & Cain offers a reasonably priced sub that seems tailored to their speakers when using a capable amplifier?

Your preamplifier appears to have an extra set of low line level RCA outputs? Are you currently using those outputs for something else?

Actually, you'd probably be shopping a two channel pro audio amp with onboard DSP. The outboard clutter of another component and the extra cabling? 

You'll be missing out on the current flexibility of a remote controlled subwoofer and EQ presets.
