As far as weight goes, I personally don't think this is a good metric to base a subwoofer purchase on. Did anyone ever say….ugg…I don't want to buy that couch…it weighs 110 lbs. I want to buy the really light 60 lb couch. If anything, most would probably wonder if the light couch was poorly constructed. A heavier sub is a potentially better sub….beefier driver, beefier amp, beefier enclosure. Anyways, a grown man should be able to lift 100 lbs bar some kind of disability. If not, use two people like you would for a couch. Once in place, they can be slid around fairly easy with furniture sliders if moving a 100 lb object is not feasible. If you had to move them several times a day up and down stairs, every day that you own them, I think weight would be a valid concern. Otherwise, maybe not so important?
This is a good point. FWIW, I live alone and I was able to move my 4 220lbs subs into place on my own and it wasn't too bad. They're too big for me to really lift and carry(like my other subs), but there are other ways to move them around that aren't too difficult(and I'm a fairly small/weak guy). Once you get them in the right spot, you really never have to move them again.
That said, I do get that it makes moving/relocating more difficult, if that's something you do often.
