Unless I’m missing it somewhere, I can’t seem to find a direct comparison between the 2 if comparing the RS1 to an HST-18 in a 4 cu/ft sealed box (with the same SP plate amp). Are they comparable, or would one out perform the other in different areas (ie ULF, mid bass etc.). Any thoughts?
Also, the JTR RS2 and RS1 don’t seem unreasonably large for what they are. Can your design only accommodate a 12” sub depth? That seems very restrictive. The JTR RS2 and RS1 are known great choices. PSA S21 IPAL-M’s would also be excellent, but the cabinets are basically 24” cubes. Other good choices are Harbottle C18’s or Deep Sea Sound.
JTR RS1 hands down….the PSA subs are ok for the price but you will hear its limitations where the JTR will just keep slamming you in the chest with a flat response into single digits.

The RS1 filled the room for the most part, but I couldn't find a good spot without some nulls involved. So adding the S2 (I don't know the upgraded difference between the RS vs S...but my second sub is the S2) purpose was to fill those nulls and help with bring up the bass with a concrete floor.
