Bottom Line?
Both the type of subwoofers offer quality sound quality. It all depends on what you want to seek from the sub.

- Next, if all you want is a balanced composition with a little compromise on the sound quality, the other one is recommended.
- Also, it is the under-seat subwoofer if you are on a tight budget. This is because usually, an under-seat sub comes with an in-built amp. But talking about the boot sub, you’d have to buy an amp additionally.
