subwoofers w/room correction

are there any subwoofers with built in room correction other then Velodyne and JL Audio? i am not interested in using a sms-1 or the like, just want everything in one box and want to make sure there isnt anything else out there i may be overlooking if i decide to go that route.

Marty is spot-on. The auto setup on the Velodynes is grossly inferior to a manual setup but both are limited to a single microphone position and only account for frequency response correction.

The JL is a pretty simply single frequency parametric EQ and the Infinity/Revel offering is, imho, tedious without being comprehensive. I do use a JL sub in one system and I think it is great but I do use an external EQ with it.

The Paradigm subs with ARC offer multiple microphone positions and account for FR as well as mode/decay compensation. AFAIK, Paradigm has the best built-in sub EQ: http://www.stereophile.com/musicintheround/music_in_the_round_40/index.html

The Behringer has potential but (1) it is not built in as requested by the OP and (2) it also requires a competent external measurement system (e.g., REW) to calculate the necessary filters.
