Compare REL T9x and T7x
Comparing the subwoofers REL T9x and REL T7x, it can be noted that the T9x has a higher power of 300 W compared to 200 W for the T7x, as well as a larger driver diameter — 254 mm versus 203 mm. Both devices have the same acoustic design with a passive radiator and support phase, level, and crossover adjustments with a frequency range from 30 to 120 Hz. However, the T9x is heavier, weighing 21 kg compared to 18 kg for the T7x. Both subwoofers are intended for home use and have similar dimensions and cabinet materials.

Glossary
Power
Rated power of the subwoofer. Technically, this is the highest average (rms) sound power at which the device can work normally (without sound distortion and damage to components) for an unlimited time. Simply put, the more powerful the subwoofer, the louder it is. The choice for this parameter depends primarily on the size of the space / room that is planned to be covered; detailed recommendations for different situations can be found in special sources.
Also, the power is directly related to the characteristics of the amplifier used with the subwoofer. For active subwoofers (see "Type"), this item actually indicates the nominal power of the built-in amplifier; the speaker itself can be more powerful, but it doesn't matter anymore. For passive models, the power rating corresponds to the highest amplifier power that can be connected to the speaker without the risk of damaging it at high volume.

Speaker size
The diameter of the speaker(s) installed in the subwoofer.
It is believed that the larger the speaker ( 15 ", 18 " and more), the more power it can produce and the deeper the bass will be on such acoustics. However, in modern subwoofers, manufacturers use various tricks that allow achieving good sound depth even with relatively small speaker sizes ( 10 ", 8 "). Therefore, it is possible to compare different models only if they differ significantly in this indicator; and even then, in such cases, it is worth paying attention not so much to the speaker diameter as to the price category. The golden mean among sizes is 12-inch subwoofers.
