Hi guys. I am looking to build a sub for a 13' by 11' room. I would say 50/50 use of the audio system between movies and music with more emphasis on wanting the sub for movies. I intend to purchase all components for this build from CSS. I don't really know if it matters too much, but the...

What driver parameters should I be looking for to maximize performance in a sealed sub? I'm particularly interested in 15" drivers in a 3.0 or 3.5 cu ft. sealed box. I understand that some drivers work better than others, so I'm interested in understanding why. Thanks!
