Short answer: the SVS SB-2000 Pro, if you are buying new. The Power Sound Audio (PSA) XV15 ranks higher than it (#10 vs #72 of 212 subwoofers, 4.1/5 vs 3.8/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the SVS SB-2000 Pro is still sold new at $749.
The case for the SVS SB-2000 Pro: A compact sealed 12 inch subwoofer with tight bass and full app control from your seat. The catch: Output is modest next to larger or ported subwoofers: Erin’s Audio Corner measured about 102.5dB at 20Hz, and he judged the SVS SB-3000, about $200 more, the better value for its considerably higher output.
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 SVS SB-2000 Pro new; the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XV15 is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
