Default Lightweight Compact sub for keyboard setup?

Looking for a sub to help handle lower frequencies from LH bass notes of Roland RD700SX. Running 2 Mackie SRM 450s from a Mackie 1202 mixer and need more low end. Also, I just want to use 1 sub between mixer and 450s so it needs to have proper I/O without destroying stereo signal.
Thanks!

those mackie's are powered, right? so why don't you just use an aux send or a monitor bus for the sub.

also I would recomment getting 15" bass combo for the sub and eq accordingly.

not going to be super light, but not impossible to carry.

its hard to get bass without size

Default Plan B

I tried a sub at the last gig but the sound was wrong for the bass patches - especially accoustic. What bass amp would you recommend to run an aux signal through?
Thanks, Craig

Ampeg has two series of little combos with 15"s that I know of. One is called the rocket bass and the other one is
http://www.ampeg.com/products/bassamp/ba115/index.html

both have a -15 pad for line levels. also korg dx keyboard amps have good bass, but the ampegs will have better eq options, but so will your mixer
