Short answer: the SVS SB-1000 PRO. It ranks #4 of 73 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $599. The RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10S MKII ranks #124, rated 3.6/5, at $499, $100 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
Sealed against ported. The SVS SB-1000 Pro uses a 12 inch driver in a sealed box, which keeps bass tight and is easier to place in a small room. The RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII uses a 10 inch driver in a rear ported box with a 400W RMS amplifier, trading a larger cabinet for more output in the deepest octave.
The deep bass goes to the RSL. Measured CEA-2010-A output at 20Hz is 100dB for the RSL against 91dB for the SVS, and at 25Hz it is 105dB against 97.7dB. That is a large gap for movie effects and organ notes. Above 50Hz the SVS pulls ahead, with a 40 to 80Hz average of 113.9dB against the RSL’s 112.1dB.
Size and weight: the SVS weighs 26 lbs (11.8 kg) and is the smaller box. The RSL weighs 40.6 lbs (18.4 kg). The RSL also has a built-in wireless receiver and a DSP with an LFE mode for extension and a Music mode for tighter response.
Choose by use: the RSL for home theater where the lowest notes matter, the SVS for music in a smaller room or where a compact sealed box fits better. See the best subwoofers for small rooms and the sealed vs ported explainer.
Buy the SVS SB-1000 PRO. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $100 with the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10S MKII does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
