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

12'x12' room.
Not be difficult to place or make settings.
Blend seamlessly.
$400-500 budget.
Overwhelmed by self equalization.
Buy used.
Cables?

Self equalizing subwoofers, which are far less overwhelming than manual adjusting, would address five or six of your needs with the exception of your budget. 

A decent subwoofer will serve you well regardless of any future system changes. 
On the other hand some people find a poorly integrated subwoofer better than no sub at all.

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

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

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.
