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

'Full Range' speakers seldom are. My current speakers are 25Hz ±4dB in a typical room. Main woofer amps are 200w monoblock.

Adding a 40Hz first order Butterworth effectively doubles the woofer 'music' power and transient response is much better. Room & sub integration is much easier.

Pop music doesn't benefit much, but massive orchestra or pipe organ is a quantum leap better.

plus 1 @blisshifi on the SVS subwoofers. I have the SB2000 Pro and the app really made setup a breeze.  Also the sales and service people there are great.

REL

I’m using a REL T9/X, which is my first REL subwoofer. I like it better than the Genesis 928 ($2800) sub I had years ago. I’m using it to support a pair of Magnepan LRS speakers. They work very well together 

No suggestions but two comments.

First an 8" woofer plus passive radiator is still just an 8" woofer. A passive radiator may look like a woofer but it's just a port substitute.

Second, I know there are arguments against this but I'd look for a sub with a high pass crossover that rolls off the bottom of the main speaker. This takes a big load off the main speaker allowing it to play louder and cleaner.
