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

Just installed an SVS micro 3000 in my living room system and I am simply blown away. Something so tiny can perform this well?? I was a bit taken aback. I have an SVS PB 2000 in my man cave and this little micro is right on par. To me the 2000 is laid back presence, the 3000 micro is speed… both produce extension, both are easy to adjust with the app. Both simply disappear. Size wise the 2000 is very big and would have never been sanctioned by my better half in the living room. The micro is so small it can be a bit more hidden. I’ve really only had a couple days with the micro, but I am just thrilled with it. I bought mine through the outlet tab on the SVS site and save a few clams. I recommend it highly. 
 

P.S. nice reviews from well known HIFI mags.

I have 2 listening systems, both 2 channel audio. SVS SB 3000 in smaller system, main system SVS SB 4000. Both offer, via my I phone a bluetooth system for adjusting level outputs. It is wonderful to sit in your preferred listening area and make adjustments sitting down. No more up and down, back and forth. Good luck, Robert TN

I've said it before in this forum and I'll say it again, REL subs seem to be the one type of audio gear that almost everyone can agree on as being well built, having excellent performance, and a good value. In fact, I don't think I've seen a negative comment yet about an REL sub, although one person didn't care for the customer service.

What’s your budget?  Incidentally, I don’t know if you can use onboard DSP if you use high-level inputs. 

+1 @winnardt about REL quality and sound.

As to the high pass filter @dynamiclinearity I agree there are pros and cons. Full range speakers and good amplification can handle full signal.

The quality of the high pass filter is hugely important in a resolving system, and I believe in not altering (DSP etc) the signal. It adds distortion. That's just my approach.  DSP for a sub? may be a good idea to tune to eliminate room nodes.  I was able to move my two REL subs around until I had minimal bass booming.  The addition of ASC bass traps (I found them used here) in the corners smoothed it all out.  Who knows, if I had subs with iphone controlled DSP I would have liked that, but I think in the end I prefer the purity of the signal.
