Cabinet type and stated extension, not the number on the amplifier · review
The largest driver in this catalogue — 30.5 cm — with power stated in the two-figure form the trade uses: sustained and peak.
The bottom line The most capable subwoofer here on driver size and amplifier rating — with the extension figure that would prove it left unpublished.
30.5 cm. Air. A larger cone moves more of it for the same excursion, which means it reaches a given level with less distortion. That is heard as effortlessness rather than as depth, and it is the practical difference between a big subwoofer and a small one playing loudly.
200 W / 400 W — sustained and peak. Quoting both is the trade convention and it is more useful than a single unconditioned number: the first says what the amplifier holds, the second what it delivers briefly.
Frequency extension with a tolerance — a figure like “28 Hz (−6 dB)”. That is the number that says how low it actually goes, and its absence means the driver size has to stand in for it.
Room modes decide what arrives at your seat, and moving a subwoofer a metre changes that more than replacing it does. Try the corner, the front wall and beside the seating with the same passage each time.
Set the crossover where the main speakers stop, not where the subwoofer can reach. Handing frequencies to the subwoofer that the mains handle well is what makes a system sound heavy rather than deep.

Not by itself — cabinet design and tuning matter as much. What a larger driver does reliably is move more air for the same excursion, which means less distortion at a given level. The extension figure would settle it, and it is not published here.
A sustained figure and a peak figure, which is how the trade quotes subwoofer amplifiers. It is more informative than a single number because it separates what the amplifier holds from what it can deliver briefly.
Active · 60/120 W stated as a pair · sold singly
A German-made active subwoofer quoted conservatively — 60/120 W — in the two-figure form that makes a rating comparable rather than impressive.
Best for: A small or medium room, and a system built from components rather than bought as a package.
≈ 252 €
8-inch driver · 70 W · low-pass filter · down to 35 Hz stated · MDF cabinet · RCA · standby
The best-specified subwoofer in this catalogue: it publishes a frequency extension figure — 35 Hz — which nothing else here does.
Best for: A small to medium room, and anyone who wants to compare a published number rather than infer from a driver size.
≈ 129 €
Active · 150 W · front-firing or downfiring · sealed or ported not stated
A subwoofer that can be oriented front-firing or downfiring — a placement flexibility that matters more in a real room than a specification does.
Best for: A room where the subwoofer has to go under or beside furniture, and orientation decides whether it works there.
≈ 320 €
