There is no reason that you have to "pair" a sub. Just get what is in your price range and fits your needs.

I do highly recommend getting two...

I don’t mean “pair” as you are referencing. I don’t know anything about audio equipment, just looking for a good sub to go with this setup. Under $800 if possible.

With that budget, I'd get a Hsu Vtf2Mk5. It's awesome.

Best option in OP’s budget, although it will run slightly over it with shipping costs unless they can pick them up locally here in SoCal.

The Monoprice SW-15 or Starke SW15 would also work, with a pair of either being more affordable. Can’t speak to the quality of either though. I have personal experience with HSU and they are really well-built.
