Correction on JL Audio E-Sub e112: $2,700. The E112 has deep bass performance advantage to Sigberg Audio 10D but not as much mid-bass headroom.

Correction on SVS: James accidentally showed CEA-2010 data of PB16 in sealed mode instead of the SB16. PB16 in sealed mode lack the mid-bass due to the underhung design of the driver but not SB16. Check out our written review of the SB16-Ultra for accurate measurements on that product. thanks to @user-lb5tr4bh7r
