how do i represent a newline in sed?

i want to do:

sed -e 's/^acme\[\(.*\)\]\(.*\)/whatever\[\1\]NEWLINEacme\[\1\]\2/

ie i want to insert a line before a specific line, using something i
matched on that specific line to create the insert line...

but i just can't seem to find something to the NEWLINE part. not \^M,
\<newline>, nothing...

any ideas?
