What better way to use a first post then to ask a simple beginner question right? 
So here it goes:
Do I want a ported or sealed sonotube sub?
Here are the variables that go into the answer:
---This sub's main purpose will be for HT.
---I like deep clear bass with no distortion, loud is good but reference is too loud for me. So if the sub can reach reference its well within my needs.
---Size isn't an issue, I have a corner in my HT that’s just dying to be filled with a big 18"-24" by 6' monster.
---The driver I plan on using is the Adire Audio Tempest, which looks like its a little better suited for a sealed cab, but (as others have proven) will definitely hold its own in a vented cab.
---My room is 15' long 17' wide, has a large opening in the rear and a vaulted ceiling.
Right now I’m leaning towards the sealed cab because its simple and for a first attempt at something simple is usually the best way to go IMO. But will I be missing out going with out the extra db at the low end the port would give me? Tell me what you guys think.
Thanks in advance
