Hello,
I am considering an upgrade to my existing sub (klipsch rw-12d) because I am building my HT room. My new room is going to be 12x17x7.5 (1530 cu ft). I was looking at SVS for a replacement, but I don't know what would be best suited for a 1530 cu ft. room. I liked that the SB13-Ultra is in a smaller box than the PB12-Plus, but I don't know if that is worth the extra $200. I don't think I would have an issue accommodating the larger PB12-Plus, so the size is not that big of a problem.
So the question here is, would a sealed box sound better than the ported given the relatively small size of the room? Or are these subs too big for my room?
P.S. The room will most likely be sealed, but there is a slight possibility that I leave it open to a hallway that leads into a living room in the basement. That will be a last minute decision
