Need subwoofer recommendations under 1L

[sid129]

Sv 12 is a no brainer out of the options you are considering.

Frequency response is the only gripe for me when compared to XTZ 1X12 edge and XTZ costing 25k more than sv12. Is it worth paying more for XTZ? BTW I’m going to purchase XTZ sub.

Frequency response would be more or less similar in your room.
And physically such a small 12 inch subwoofer shouldn't hit such low frequencies ( because if that's done then the most critical band of 40-80hz is sacrificed)

This is the type of design I can trust to produce low frequencies properly.

XTZ is slightly more powerful rated 600-700 watts rms, where as SV12 is 500 watts rms rated and Edge sub has parameter EQ , modes where SV12 does not. You wont go wrong with SV12 sub but if you can spend more then it's worth getting XTZ sub egde.
What's the Quotation you got for XTZ sub ?. if its more than 1.3 lakhs then consider getting REL 15" , priced around 1.6 lakhs , where you dont need to upgrade your sub again in the future.

Hi. I have a query. While choosing an active subwoofer, what should be considered, bigger driver with less amp power or small driver with higher amp power where they both fall under specific budget?

Bigger driver.
Other factors also play a role.

Do remember that the tuning of the subwoofer is also important.

The bigger the size of Sub driver it can go deep lows.
More power to the Sub will produce tight/settled and punchy bass .
The sub with in adequate power will sound bloomy and might distort on high volumes.
How ever in general the power to sub with >=400 watts RMS should be more than enough for home usage and more power will be better if we can afford it. The more power it has it will sound more tighter/settled and punchy powerful bass.

Also the bigger drivers need more power to perform better. 8"Sub can perform better < 300 watts RMS / 12"sub can go up to 600 watts/ and 15" sub can up to 1000 watts RMS for great BASS.

Bigger drivers can handle more power.
And bigger drivers can produce similar spl with lower power.
Needs more power to perform better isn't true.

Have owned through 10,12 and 15 inch subs. The 15 inch sub with its meaty power amp (1kw) has performed best in the same room.
