Short answer: the SVS PB-1000 PRO for deep ported output, the HSU Research ULS-15 MK2 for tight sealed bass. The PB-1000 PRO is a ported 12-inch with 325W RMS delivering guttural low extension to 17Hz, and it costs $150 less. The ULS-15 MK2’s sealed design delivers tight, accurate bass with low bloat.
Buy the HSU Research ULS-15 MK2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $150 with the SVS PB-1000 PRO does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
