A significant part of my music collection is either electronic experimental or electro-acoustic music. Trust me, you DO NOT want a cheap sub because it won't be able to adequately reproduce a huge part of material you're going to listen to. As a matter of fact, in your case I would wait and invest in a the best sub you can afford, it is not where you want to cut corners. Initially, I tried a HSU VTF MK2. While powerful and able to shake the foundations of the house, it lacked the ability to reproduce bass musically. A few subs of note: Alon Thunderbolt(I think it's still available here on A'gon) for around $700.00.) ACI(Force or better yet, Titan).
REL. Vandersteen 2Wq. I ended up getting a Soliloquy S-10, partly because it matches my speakers, and it's fantastic!.
From my experience, for electronic music reproduction, you'd want to avoid placing it anywhere close to a wall(it would interact too much with room acoustics and distort the bass). Front-ported subs would work the best. My ideal position is on line right between the speakers, aproximately 5 feet from the wall. Hope that helps.
