Dual RP1400s for $699 each is a subwoofer sweet spot that we have never seen before. It's an insane pairing for under $1500.
Community Reviews
The Speedwoofer 12S is a large ported 12 inch sub that stands out for deep, visceral bass and strong home theater output. It is repeatedly described as a monster that can shake a room, with low end rumble, adjustable settings, and performance that compares favorably with pricier subs like the SVS PB2000 Pro. The main tradeoff is size, since it needs real floor space and is a blind buy with a return cost if it does not fit or suit the room. Sale pricing around $799, with occasional drops near $719 or extra PowerBuy savings, makes the value angle especially strong.
The Speedwoofer 12S can be a value upgrade versus higher-priced ported 12-inch competitors when comparing CEA-2010 measurements.
The Speedwoofer 12S can deliver strong low-end rumble with adjustable settings to control how much it shakes a room.
The Speedwoofer 12S can be a practical upgrade path from RSL 10s models while pairing well as a second sub.
RSL can preserve the $799 sale price for backorders even when shipping is delayed until mid-October.
The Speedwoofer 12S is physically large and requires measuring your space before buying.
The Speedwoofer 12S can be hard to move around after placement, which may complicate setup changes.
The Speedwoofer 12S is a blind buy risk because it cannot be sampled, and returns may only recover about 80% of the money.
The Speedwoofer 12S can cost $150 to return if it does not meet expectations.

It's quite a bit larger despite the same driver size, but the difference in sound is insane. This sub makes my living room sound like a high quality movie theater.

The only time you can get a smaller cabinet with a 15" woofer is if you go sealed: for example, the Hsu ULS15 is 19 x 18 x 19.5" HWD. Sealed has its own limitations, but the performance gap vs ported does narrow as you get into bigger and bigger woofer sizes, e.g. the 18" and 21" sealed subs from PSA: https://www.powersounda
Unfortunately there's a price premium with those PSA sealed subs, but dollar for dollar they crush the performance of similar priced SVS sealed subs. In the same way, that $1100 Hsu ULS15 crushes the $1300 SVS SB3000 (13" woofer, 15.6 x 15.2 x 16.8" HWD).
Simple physics exposes and obliterates all these ludicrous sales gimmicks/lies thrown about on forums like this, all day long. Not to mention price-to-performance, a metric that the sales hacks NEVER want consumers to ever think about, so they love to muddy the waters with psychobabble about "b-b-but that's my experience/opinion" --- desperate salesmen gotta pay the rent, lol.
Here you go, just one example!

At first I thought you were referring to me. Unless I'm misunderstanding. Regardless, no interest in reading about the 10e. Had one for 29 days.
Remember: life is short...go for it!
Just make sure to measure your space before buying because it has a very large enclosure.

Otherwise it's the exact same ballpark size as similar-performance-level competitors' 12 inch ported subs e.g. SVS PB2000 Pro or Hsu VTF-2.
The more important point imo is because of science.
How well you can properly implement this in an environment is crucial for optimal performance.
In general, bigger footprint means less versatility.
TBH if this is a blind buy, anything in this price range and higher are great.
If this is in your price range & fits, you won't be disappointed ime.
