Short answer: the Reaction Audio PV-15X for raw output, the PSA XV15 for a self-contained setup. The PV-15X’s 15-inch ported driver posts 126.2dB CEA-2010-A average from a purpose-built cinema-style cabinet, but it is passive, requires a separate external amplifier, and weighs 68 kg (149.9 lbs). The PSA XV15 is a 15-inch ported downfirer with 500W delivering crisp detailed bass, at $1,995 versus $1,999.
Buy the Reaction Audio PV-15X only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two.
