Has anyone compared the Parts Express 15" sub kit to the HSU VTF-3 MK 2? They are only about $80 apart from each other (12" HSU is more expensive).

My Room is 16 x 19, but my house has a VERY open floor plan with Kitchen on 1 side of HT (completly open 16 x 14) and a dining room behind me (12 x 16 with 9' non-closable opening).

While I use it mainly for HT (about 90%), I like the bass very fast and tight. Can any of you make any recommendations for either of these subs?

Thanks,

Michael
