what do you guys think is the better subwoofer. i would use it mostly for music which i listen to almost everyday and movies that i watch once a week. im from the philippines and the brands most recommended arent available here like svs and hsu. or i have to pay astronomical delivery fees. of the subs i auditioned here, i cant seem to decide on the following:

1. klipsh rw-10 (ported)
-Bass-reflex powered design, 10" front-firing aluminum cone woofer, 280w BASH digital hybrid amplifier, 25Hz-120Hz ±3dB, 39 lb.
-- MSRP: $ 499.00 i could this for 24,000 pesos here

2. velodyne cht-10 (ported)
- i could get this for 24,000 pesos

3. usher sw-103 (ported)
- * Sensitivity:88dB 1watt/1m
* Nominal impedance:8ohms
* Frequency response(-3dB):28Hz~180kHz
* Power handling:100watts
* Dimensions(wxdxh):33cmx49cmx48cm
-i could get this for 19,000 pesos

4. wharfedale sw250 (sealed)
* Amplifier Power: 250W
* Input Sensitivity: 325mv/150W
* Frequency Response: 30Hz-110Hz
* Maximum SPL Crossover: 35Hz-85Hz
-MSRP: $ 700.00 i could get this for 20,000 pesos here. wharfedale products cost cheaper here in the philippines.

5. dali concept sub (sealed)
-DALI Concept Sub
Frequency Response [Hz] 29 - 170
Nominal Impedance [Ohm] 20 k RCA stereo/35 k RCA LFE
Maximum SPL [dB] 110
Enclosure Type Sealed
Amplifier 160 W RMS
Low Frequency Drivers 12"air-dried pulp cone
Dimensions (H x W x D) [cm]41 x 38 x 42
Dimensions (H x W x D) [inch]16.1 x 15 x 16.5
Weight [kg]/[lb.]21.2/46.7
-i could get this for 21,000 pesos

or would it be better to get wharfedale sw-150(ported) cause it only costs 9000 pesos here. this sub won product of the year in whathifi. would the performance that i would get be negligible if i opt for the higher models listed above? or would i be dissappointed in the long run if i get the wharfe sw-150.

hoping that you guys could help me. thanks a lot.

Can you specify your room size? Most relevant question when it comes to selecting subwoofer power because it needs to fill the air with bass frequencies.

Id go with the velodyne, the most musical of the subs listed in my opinion. I have the same series in my room and it sounds really good.
