Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XV15 is the better pick: it ranks #10 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5), against #30 (rated 3.9/5) for the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XS15SE. If you want one new, the HSU Research ULS-15 MK2 ranks #4 at $999.
Why pick the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XS15SE: A compact sealed 15 inch subwoofer with strong output for movies and music, now discontinued. The tradeoff: At 67 lbs (30.4 kg) and 495.3H x 431.8W x 457.2D mm it is heavy and sizeable even though it is sealed.
Why pick the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XV15: A down firing 15 inch ported subwoofer with deep, clean, detailed bass that plays loud, now discontinued but worth buying used. The tradeoff: It weighs 75 lbs (34.0 kg) in a 584 x 432 x 559 mm cabinet, so it needs a lot of space.
Buy the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XV15 only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, start with the HSU Research ULS-15 MK2 instead.
