Krispen,

Have you looked at the Alesis Grip?  I haven't played with one myself, but 
in looking through the manual it seems to be a dedicated unit built solely 
around the same sub-bass algorithm as the Akira.  It does have quite a bit 
more controllability, however.  Might be worth checking out if you're not 
so crazy about dedicating your Akira plus one of your compressors solely 
to 
managing your bass frequencies.
