#54 Velodyne Acoustics EQ-Max15: $1,699 Discontinued eBay
Same family: the Velodyne Acoustics EQ-Max8 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, rated 3.3/5) and the Velodyne Acoustics EQ-Max12 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, rated 3.6/5).
Pros: A ported 15 inch subwoofer with automatic room EQ, remote controlled presets and speaker level connections, now discontinued. It has a 750W RMS amplifier rated at 1500W peak, and measured output averages about 116dB from 40 to 80Hz, peaking near 118dB at 50 to 63Hz. A remote control selects between 4 user EQ presets, and automatic room EQ tunes the response. Speaker level inputs and outputs make it easy to connect to older receivers, and finishes go beyond flat black.
Cons: Output falls to about 88dB at 20Hz and 99dB at 25Hz, so it is weak on the deepest effects. The cabinet is about 546mm tall and 533mm deep and weighs 34kg. The manufacturer’s frequency response spec is not fully published. It is discontinued, so it can only be bought used.
