Short answer: the Dayton Audio MKSX4 for more output without an in-wall install. It delivers 106.2dB CEA-2010-A average from four 4-inch drivers in a low-profile cabinet under 8 inches, against 102.1dB from the BG Radia BGX-S6B’s six 4-inch drivers in an in-wall panel. The Dayton’s output is budget-tier and its ported design depends on the room, while the BGX-S6B needs in-wall installation and is limited to 102.1dB.
Buy the Dayton Audio MKSX4. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the BG Radia BGX-S6B is discontinued, so it is only available used.
