Short answer: the JBL Stage 220P. It ranks #107 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $529.95. The RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10S MKII ranks #124, rated 3.6/5, at $499, $30.95 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
What the JBL Stage 220P does well: 12-inch ribbed polycellulose cone backed by a 250W RMS / 500W peak Class D amplifier and dual rear-firing bass reflex ports. The tradeoff: Substantial cabinet size and weight requiring adequate floor area.
Why pick the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10S MKII: 10-inch ported with 400W RMS (1020W peak) XDR amplifier. Watch for: The ported cabinet is big and heavy for a 10 inch subwoofer, at 40.6 lbs (18.4 kg) and about 39 x 38 x 40 cm, and its rear port needs some space from the wall.
Buy the JBL Stage 220P. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $30.95 with the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10S MKII does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
Worth knowing: the JBL Stage 220P has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 3.5 to 3.9, so treat this verdict as provisional.
