Sub? Can't Decide

Looking for a sub for a small room,approx.10x10.No vaulted ceiling or anything.I'm looking at a 8" for the small footprint,to keep the wife happy.Really aren't a good way to run a full 5.1 setup in this room,so I am using a Mythos SSA-42 soundbar instead. It will be used for 99% movies.I don't need to wake my neighbors.I know that a 8" won't rattle the walls,but to keep the wife happy,I'll compromise.I am looking at the following...

Outlaw Audio M8
Mirage Omni S8
HSU STF-1

Setup: Denon 1909 AVR
Mythos SSA-42
Sony BluRay

I appreciate all the replies. I should re phrase when I said wake the neighbors. My nearest neighbor is around 150 feet away. Guess i was saying that I need a sub that would not rattle the walls apart. If that makes sense.I'll check out the recommendations.

The mm8 seems to have the same concept as the DefTech super cubes?

The Supercube 400 is the most like the MM8. Both have an 8" driver powered by a 1200 watt amp and vented by two 8" passive radiators. The Mirage is smaller as a 9" cube; the DefTech is more like a 12" cube and has a remote control. They have the same original list price, and a recent review in HT mag about the Def Tech indicates that it's a kick-ass sub for its size and price.

However, bear in mind that since the MM8 is on closeout you can get a pair of them for quite a bit less than a single DefTech 4000 and at 9" on a side they MM8s will fit into tiny spaces that normally couldn't be considered for a sub.

Either choice will give you what you're looking for. It just comes down to budget and whether a 12" cube is small enough vs. one or two 9" cubes.
