They essentially copied SVS, which loves to talk about their much better DSPs:

And have flat frequency response:

Subs without DSP have a hump-shaped response:

They also use steel stamped frames (Possible ferrous interference) versus die cast aluminum frames as seen on other products.

sub FR needs to be taken at face value since the room has a tremendous impact on low end performance (This is the reason DSP exists in the first place). things like boundary gain are going to be different for everyone.
your statement that subs with DSP have a humped shaped response makes no sense since the non-DSP FR and the DSP FR will vary for every single different sub. look at the RSL Speedwoofers, they specifically have a reference DSP mode that is meant to be as flat and extended as possible.

Plenty of professional reviews indicate that RSL is the best $500 sub out right now. The good thing about subs is that you can start with one (not optimal, but still gives decent enough performance) and then you can add a second one as your budget permits.

That is it. they have really great customer service. see if they will offer you any discount for a multi sub purchase.
I would just start out with 1 from costco if ur a member. Can return if you arent satisfied and upgrade then. I have 2 of the wired version of the costco subs i purchased in 2020 and I have been nothing but happy with them. I owned an expensive sub that is "high end" and also have a nice setup in my car, and even tho i have "cheap" subs for my home theater I have never once noticed anything lacking from the "cheap" subs. To each their own, but i highly recommend starting cheap and then upgrading, if u even find it necessary
Try an energy savings power strip. Plug in your TV to the control outlet and your sub to the switched outlet. Your sub will turn on when you turn on the TV. No need to schedule your smart switch or manually turn them on or off.

I am betting you would never hear a difference between a steel frame or a cast frame subwoofer.
Why not mention the Klipsch supperior aluminum voice coil that is lighter and more efficient... meaning less mass the cone has to move as opposed to a heavier copper one that needs to be moved by 1000-2000watt amps for the same output?

as soon as klipsch comes out with a model that uses aluminum frames then we can do a side by side comparison.
