Hi all -
In a post on Audioholics, it was suggested to me that running a sealed and ported sub together might result in sub-par performance due to "group delay." This was a new term to me, so I've researched it enough to understand what it means (slower delivery of certain frequencies in ported subs versus sealed), but don't know how much of a problem to expect it to be if I try to run both of these subs together.
While I'm not sure that I'll ultimately keep both of these subs anyway, I'd appreciate any advice on the matter.
Thanks.
Jason

Oh, you do NOT want group delay.
Just send me the EP600.

To expand on Tom's idea, keep the 600 and send me the 800

Great, thanks all. Glad to hear I didn't have a real problem that couldn't easily be solved.
