Short answer: the SVS 3000 In-Wall if sound quality matters most, the Monoprice Premium Select 8in 200-Watt if price matters most. The SVS 3000 In-Wall ranks #34 of 73 subwoofers, rated 3.3/5, at $1,999.99. The Monoprice Premium Select 8in 200-Watt ranks #46, rated 3.2/5, at $224.99, $1,775 cheaper.
What the Monoprice Premium Select 8in 200-Watt does well: A low cost ported 8 inch subwoofer with a 200 watt amp, an easy entry point for a first subwoofer. Watch for: Very compact 18.5 lbs (8.4 kg) size, limited 106.4 dB output, ported room interaction, and entry-level build.
What the SVS 3000 In-Wall does well: A sealed in-wall subwoofer with two 9 inch drivers that fits a standard stud bay, with an external amp and app setup. The catch: Deep-bass output is modest next to a comparably priced box subwoofer, so it suits music and moderate home theater use rather than reference-level effects.
Buy the Monoprice Premium Select 8in 200-Watt if the price is the priority over sound quality, or the SVS 3000 In-Wall if sound quality is the priority over the price.
