#180 EMPtek ES1010i: $599 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A dual 10 inch ported subwoofer with a braced cabinet and stylish contoured finish, now discontinued. It uses a 250W RMS amplifier and measured output averages about 108dB from 40 to 80Hz, enough for a small to medium room. The rigid braced cabinet keeps the enclosure from rattling at moderate volume. Variable phase, an adjustable crossover and an analog limiter protect the drivers.
Cons: Output falls to 94dB at 25Hz and 88dB at 20Hz, so it is weak on deep movie effects. Rated response starts at 30Hz, which is shallow for a subwoofer. It is a tall cabinet at about 699mm and weighs 20.4kg. It is discontinued, so it can only be bought used.
