I have a Dayton 18" RSS460HO woofer which I am going to use in a hifi-setup, but I also want it to be able to provide true "Theater-bass" with depth and SPL when called upon since I will add a PJ and turn it into a stereo-cinema down the road.
What sort of enclosure is recommended for this woofer, personal experience is appreciated. I am leaning towards some sort of sealed configuration. Perhaps sealed Sonotube.

Hi,
120-150 sealed you get a ~28-27Hz F3 in room. Practical power (RMS) is for a sealed (considering Xmax/no Linkwitz) 265W-300W (150/120L).
18" Dayton Audio RSS460HO-4
(Fs)18.8 Hz
(Vas)9.61 ft.³/272L
(Qts)0.32
(Xmax)12.75 mm

Ok. So a sealed version would dig pretty low on its own, especially when roomgain is added.
I see a reflex version would have to be 210 litres.
