Budget Amazon 10-inch Subwoofer Showdown: Polk, Klipsch, Elac, Yamaha, Sony
The market is flooded with $100-$200 10-inch powered subwoofers. So, how do you separate the good from the bad… the high value products from the others… and how do you make the right purchase decision to get you the product you need while not over-spending?
To tackle those questions and (truthfully) give my YouTube channel a kick in the pants, I ordered 5 of the more popular budget 10-inch powered subwoofers from Amazon and conducted my own shootout. This video explores these options and aims to provide you with some knowledge – using science, not fluff – to help your purchase decisions.
The subwoofers tested here are:
Yamaha NS-SW100BL: https://amzn.to/3hCsk7l
Polk Audio PSW10: https://amzn.to/3c3YebP
Klipsch Reference R-10SW: https://amzn.to/3mm9HIq
Sony SACS9: https://amzn.to/3hEcvNz
Elac SUB1010: https://amzn.to/2FzsCPu
Edit: People asking about the shirt. Here's the link: https://amzn.to/3d4MmqH

Results sheet can be found via my Google Sheet:

Some information regarding the use of multiple subwoofers to provide a smoother in-room response:

Because I know I will be asked: Before I began testing, I reached out to both Monoprice and Parts-Express about obtaining review samples that I would send back but I did not get a response. If you have a subwoofer you would like me to test, track me down and let’s see if we can work something out.

All of my tests are conducted using KLIPPEL Hardware and Software. KLIPPEL is an innovative leader in providing unique test equipment for electro-acoustical transducers and audio systems. Founded in 1997 by Dr. Wolfgang Klippel, the novel techniques developed for control and measurement systems of loudspeakers and other transducers are the result of over 30 years of fundamental research. This provides more accurate physical models of loudspeakers, micro-speakers and headphones valid for both small and large amplitudes. The focus is on revealing the root causes of signal distortion and defects and giving practical indications for improvements in design and manufacturing of audio products.
