QPower QBASS 12-Inch Vented Subwoofer Box vs Kicker PL7TDF Powered 12" Down-Firing Subwoofer

Buy the QPower if you already own a 12-inch subwoofer and an amplifier and want a vented box that plays loud for bass-heavy music. Buy the Kicker if you want a complete bass system in one box: it includes a 600-watt amp, a square L7T sub and a remote level control, and its down-firing design protects the driver. The QPower is a plain 5/8-inch MDF enclosure with a single port and a 4.3 rating from 132 owners; the Kicker is a powered, factory-tuned sealed unit rated 4.8 from 44 owners. The Kicker costs far more because it is a full system, not just a box.

• Choose the QPower if you already have a 12-inch sub and amp and want a vented enclosure that hits hard on a budget.
• Choose the Kicker if you want one box that includes the sub, the amp and a bass knob, with no separate gear to match.
