Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy

I have now a Puppy 6 and am planning to upgrade to the Wilson puppy 7 + a subwoofer or the Wilson Maxx. But since my room is not to big and I can not finance the Maxx 2 yet I am thinking about buying the WP7 + a good subwoofer.

My slection so far:
1. Wilson Watch Dog
2. Velodyne DD18
3. Revel B15

Which subwoofer will be the best. I know the Wilson will fit the best but it is like 16000 US$ whicle the revel is 5000 US$ and the velodyne 4500 US$. The Velodyne sounds like a good buy but will it work with a Wilson speaker. Will it not be to slow for 2 channel.

I do not play movies and am only interested in a subwoofer for music. Which will be the best choise and who has experience with a good sub for a Watt / Puppy.

OK, so I just hooked up a Velodyne DD 12 to my stem with Watt Puppy 5.1's. I'm still experimenting with the settings and I'm having the same problem as Rives. I can't get the crossover frequency to go below 40 Hz. The manual says I should be able to go down to 15 but the GUI only lets me go down to 40 Hz. Am I missing something here? The Software is version 2.2.0

Thanks

I never had a problem with this. Call Kurt at Velodyne tech support in Arizona at 928-858-4430.

I just talked to velodyne and they said that the software was changed and that now 40 Hz is the lowest crossover frequency.

That's not an acceptable answer from the manufacturer, particularly for a product in production as long as the DD series. It should be a simple matter for Velodyne to give you FTP access to V2.0 software. Alternatively you could use digital EQ to tamp it down. If neither of these approaches works, chuck it.

if people are not considering the JL Audio f113, then they are missing the boat completely.

Is there a better powered sub? People who have owned some of the above mentioned subs now own a f113, what does that tell you?
