[I'm no audiophile and also tried searching prior threads so please have grace if I've missed anything.]
I'm setting up a home theatre room that is 3,240 cubic feet (20ft x 18ft x 9ft) - would use to watch movies and tv, no plans for just music. Looking at a 5.0.2 speaker set that does not come with a subwoofer. I need to stay around $500 for my sub spend. I found a room calculator that says I should have 2x 12" subs. My research is pointing to the RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII. Seems from YouTube and reddit threads that the RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII (10") likely outperforms the SVS SB-1000 Pro (12") (?).
First question: can a 10" sub outperform a 12" in terms of output in a given space?
Second question: is the RSL Speedwoofer 10S the best bang for my buck?
Third question: would I need two RSL Speedwoofer 10S subs for this sized room?
Thanks for the assist.
PS - The RSL 12" version is a monster -- I don't have enough room space or the cash.
