Polk Audio Monitor XT10 Subwoofer: $299
If you crave subterranean bass output but are on a tight budget, Polk’s XT10 subwoofer is worth a look. Okay, for three hundred bucks it can’t hit the lowest of lows but it can deliver plenty of oomph down to 30 Hz and do so from a cabinet that’s reasonably small and lightweight. Inside, a 50-watt Class D amp feeds a down-firing 10-inch woofer. The port fires from the bottom of the enclosure so you won’t have to worry about mischievous cats or kids tossing Legos into it. Around back is a basic set of controls to adjust level, phase, and low-pass crossover (40- 160 Hz) plus a line-level LFE input and a set of stereo RCA inputs.Though the bass could be a bit boomy with music, resident bass expert David Vaughn was “pleasantly surprised by [the XT10’s] sub-30 Hz performance” with movies. “During the opening sequence of Overlord — one of the most bass-intensive discs out there — the XT10 was able to rattle pictures on the wall. As the German anti-aircraft guns attempted to repel the aerial armada approaching the French coastline, the bass dipped below 25 Hz and the explosions from the flak were surprisingly impactful.” While the lows are not as tight or accurate as what you’d get from a sub costing three to four times as much, Polk’s XT10 produces a generous amount of bass for the price, making it a solid value and a great soundbar companion.

Klipsch RP-1600SW 16" Ported Subwoofer: $1,799
In the 77 years since Paul Klipsch designed and built the now legendary Klipschorn, the Klipsch name has become synonymous with great sounding and super-efficient horn-based speakers, many of which are fully capable of delivering prodigious bass. Though the company has offered standalone subwoofers for years, they don’t get much attention, which is not to say they don’t deserve to share the spotlight with Klipsch’s tried-and-true speaker designs.As the top model in the Reference Premier series, the RP-1600SW is a highly capable bulldog of a subwoofer that will wow you with its over-the-top build quality and ability to deliver earth-shaking bass from a 16-inch woofer with 800 watts of RMS at its disposal. And you’ve got to hand it to Klipsch engineers for coming up with a simple but clever and super practical feature: a magnifying lens mounted perpendicular to the rear panel that makes it easy to see volume crossover settings at a glance.
Reviewer Jim Wilson challenged the RP-1600SW with the dynamic opening sequence from Edge of Tomorrow, notching up the volume as he went along. “As I inched closer to 0 dB I did notice it wasn’t getting any louder, suggesting the limiters Klipsch programmed had kicked in and were dialing things back. No matter how far I went, nothing undesirable reared its ugly head. I was quite impressed by the outcome — that amount of equanimity isn’t easy for a ported subwoofer.” The subwoofer also handled shock waves from the canon blasts in Master and Commander, creating a realistic sense of what it was like to man a frigate in the early 1800s. Most impressive was the sub’s dynamic range and its ability to faithfully reproduce musical nuances, including the distinctive sound of Paul McCartney’s Hofner bass on tracks like “Nowhere Man.” Whether you’re listening to music or settling in to watch a movie, you can hardly go wrong with the Klipsch RP-1600SW.
