Short answer: the Monoprice SW-12 for output on a budget, the Rythmik F12 for a sealed servo design. The SW-12 is a 12-inch ported sub with 400W RMS (600W peak) and a 112.3 dB output figure, but entry-level build and ported room interaction are the tradeoffs. The Rythmik is a sealed 12-inch servo with 370W RMS and excellent value.
Buy the Monoprice SW-12. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Rythmik F12 and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
