Your Subwoofer advice please

The head of the Jazz Division of a local Big 10 school of Music recently asked me for guidance in purchasing a $350 - $450 subwoofer to releive some of the bass demands on his JBL Movie Theatre speakers. Each speaker contains a 15 inch driver, a mid horn 1.5 feet wide x 4.5 inches tall and a treble horn seven inches wide x 3.5 tall.
He has the speakers bi-amped at about 100 watts to each set of drivers and to each set of horns. His speakers get so very loud that I have to leave the room or turn them down when he is not looking.
This guy is a friend and a teacher to me so I would like to help, but I am having a hard time knowing which subs would be able to put out extremely high sound levels at low frequencies (20-30hz) for his budget of $350-$450. Will you please help? I beleive he is more interested in pressence and volume than in quality or speed.
Thanks,
Mike
