This might be one of the most complicated "deals" I've ever seen…

Yeah maybe with other brands, but you should probably do some research on this specific brand and model of subs before jumping to that conclusion to understand that will most-likely not be the case with these. Even if there was a chance of it happening, their CS has been lauded by many. It's a sub-$500 (pun intended) sub that punches above its weight class.

Hmmm, do you mind posting a redacted receipt? Were you in the same state they're in (California)? This page [rslspeakers.com] kinda confirms what I assumed in my post saying they will "taxes are not included in this rate" on the 2nd paragraph after "OR".
I am in California! I did not realize they were based here, but I would also be surprised if they were not charging tax considering how greedy this state is with their taxes.

Even without the deal, the 10" subwoofer has been rated as the best in its class by Wirecutter

If you read the article, you will see the other subwoofers they have tested as well as their reasoning.

Lol I was going to cite Wirecutter too, but not too sure how many people felt about them these days.

As I read the 10% discount will not apply to multiple or individual subs. That sucks
Gotta do a group purchase. Should be easy with this group

Quote from looser24 :
All these cheap ones are the same. They work for a few years and then the amps go and you have a big door stop.
All powered subwoofer amps are the weak link in the package, even expensive ones. Gene at audioholics was describing how he had an amp go out in a mega expensive sub he was testing/reviewing. It was like 3 grand. They all use cheap parts that don't affect the audio, but simply fail over time. It's all about maximizing profit for the manufacturer. Even the SVS many of us love has failures. Fortunately they have great warranties and customer service. If you have subwoofer amp failure anxiety (SAFA), rest assured you can buy aftermarket replacements for not too much $$$ from parts express if the original amp is no longer available or is too expensive. It's just turning a few screws and splicing a couple wires.

This deal sounds like a good way to sell fewer subs than if you just marked them up $20 and sold them individually.

They seem like they sold out/stopped caring as much since the NYT buyout. Keep finding myself not buying into their recommendations a lot more.

Thanks for sharing that! So far, I guess Californians may be out of luck tax-wise (on top with your high ass tax rate too), but if anyone else gets taxed outside of CA, please report back here.

How does the power group work? Can we order separately or does one person order all in same area? Interested in 12s group depending on how that works.

Nope, as long as you have everyone's information (or the group leader at least), you do not need to be physically near each other!

I'll admit it definitely is one of the more roundabout ways to save $50, but it's also not really that hard of a task. If you have social anxiety or something, that's could be an prohibiting force. However, (up to) 4 adults coordinating a purchase and entering a form also isn't rocket science as long as you communicate.

Are these 12" better than the Klipsch 14" that's on sale for 699?
Quote from navsha :
How is compared to SVS subwoofers or Klipsch RP series? I planning to have two 12" in my setup in basement. 15x30 ft approx room. Any suggestions?
Quote from gfedcba16 :
I might be swayed…between this and the Klipsch.
Quote from realmccoy12406 :
My question as well. No doubt RSL as a company is better than Adorama
The 12S appear to be about the equivalent of the 1200 Klipsch. The 1400 Klipsch, for 20 bucks more and not having to screw with a group buy, utterly annihilate the 12S. SVS have nicer finishes, often more inputs, and an excellent app.

Advantages of the 12S? Cheaper than the equivalent SVS. Better controls and inputs than the Klipsch. Smaller than the big Klipsch. Internet cred.

Advantage of the 10S? If 96 db max at 2 meters and no real subsonics is your goal, no headroom, then it'll get the job done in a smaller, cheaper package. You could also do a swarm of them and some serious room correction to get a killer sub system, but I hope you enjoy spending your life setting up instead of actually listening, because getting it right is going to be a monstrous task. Even integrating one sub well is difficult, let alone the four you'll need to pass a 105db peak at 20hz.
