you want an opinion on a 15" horn loaded sub that is 18 cubic feet vs. a 10" ported sub that is 3 cubic feet?

The THT if built properly should have better SQ than your HSU or majority of your ported or sealed alignments commercial or DIY. Due to the lack of distortion. Horns in general produce very little measureable distortion. As Air Supply said completely disregard the threads and post as of late. They are honestly ridiculous, obsurd and downright offensive! LOL. Youve got to realize alot of people dont truely know what distortion sounds like and can easily mistake it for "bass". The people who are questioning their the THT's are use to "commercial noise makers" producing upwards of 10% THD at their max levels. Which is still less than half of the volume levels THT is capable of with unmeasureable THD. And as stated before they dont know how to properly integrate into the system and/or are putting it in bad "bass" areas if i may call it that. I really think its more that theyre use to distortion and dont know how a quality sub is suppose to sound. But who knows they could be right and it could be complete junk. Its a leap of faith and if your willing to take it i can no longer say you may like it due to all the crazy's around here lately
. But i can tell you in my room built properly and calibrated properly the THT delivers great chest pounding, eye ball rattling, and high quality LFE for both HT and music

Its not a touched nerve or just you at all. Im half joking half serious if you know what i mean. Theres been atleast what 4 of you THT bashers in the last week lol? And 2 or 3 have all been resolved by simple trouble shooting and proper placement and calibration. Of course everyone is due their respective opinions. But its unfair and disheartening to a potential builder to come to the DIY section and the first few threads they see are negative about the THT when its not the "SUBS" fault. I think the same thing would happen if someone posted a thread "SVSPB13 ultra........mediocre....disappointing.....junk box". And then other's followed suite just to find out the problem wasnt the sub at all. People would be put off by these threads for no good reason. Its not a biggy to me since im happy with my results. But im still going to mess with you and joke about it thats just my nature. No worries man.
