SVS SB-12plus or HSU VTF-3 MK3

[got rice]

thanks for the feedback. After reading each of your responses, I did a little more reading and realized this wouldn't be a fair comparison. The SVS is sealed with a smaller enclosure, while the HSU is much larger and has two ports.

I guess I need to figure out what design is better for me ported vs sealed. I'm leaning towards the HSU for the fact that it has an option of adding a Turbo option to increase it's performance. However the SVS seems to be a better looking design, and have and a larger demographic.

My only experience with subs is a Klipsch SW-10 sealed, 100W RMSamp and active/passive radiator and built like a tank ( 40+ lbs).The other is a Klipsch SUB-12 325W ported which is pretty effective ,but the quality is cheap made of plastic and weighs in at 27lbs. I bought the SUB-12 without doing any research thinking it was built like the Klipsch of old. Unfortunatley, Klipsch had to compromise their quality to cater to the masses. Other than that, I can only go by the enclosures in a few of my cars. For me the sealed sounded better musically,but the ported added a new dimension, raw low end bass droppping sound.

I have a couple of questions.
1. Do the sealed subs really reach the low frequencies as stated in their specs?
2.Is it fair to compare the sound of bass from a car to a house? Sealed vs Ported?
3. When each of you were in my position, what was the determining factor for you?
