Short answer: the Monoprice SW-15 if you want output, the SSW-10 if space is tight. The SW-15 is a 15-inch ported sub with 600W RMS (800W peak) and a Large-room Bassaholic rating, but the case against it is budget-tier design, ported room-gain dependency, a 30 kg (66.1 lbs) cabinet and limited dynamic headroom. The SSW-10 is a 10-inch ultra-slim sealed box just 7” tall, rated 150W RMS at 108.2dB average.
Buy the Monoprice SW-15. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $257 with the Monoprice SSW-10 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
