Good small sub.

I had a Klipsch SW 10 II that really sounded great, much
better than the newer models. I've seen SW 10's and 12's
change hands for $300-$400. These models had a great
amplifier and are a good value on the used market.

You want "real bass" and small size? Hmm.
The best sub to compliment the full range speaker definitely is REL.

I really like my M&K MX-700. I used to be a double bassist, and I like real bass, too.

I am also a big fan of REL, although even the Strata is not tiny. For really small, but still useful, you can try the Velodyne HGS-10.
