Tight bass sub recommendations

What are the recommendations for a high quality subwoofer set- up. I have Maggie’s 1.7I speakers which I love but I think could use a little sub energy. Most of what I have tested seems a little boomy. I know there are 2 schools of thought 1 sub or 2 subs. I’m just looking for a deep Tight bass. Thoughts???

color me fanboy but 2 built in subs and 11 bands of analog and variable Q and I have killer audiophile bass right at my listening position....and ha, IF I want to add two more I can....

and the transfer function function of my main amp shapes the whole shebang....

let me see..great  bass everywhere but no stereo image in that far left corner......yep, guess I should retreat to bose 901.....

the real power of a fantastically executed sub is threefold...

take the strain off the 80-100 hz and up drivers

power correct the amp driving the variable EQ and Q ( duh ) sub

optimize the high pass amp because it now nolonger deals with nasty back emf, etc....

your results may vary....
