18" was a little unbelievable, so I leave it up to your imagination. Is it a bad sign if my imagination matched the 18"?

Robb:
I had planned on getting an EP 400 someday to supplement my Mackie 824s in the edit rack. My take on it was that subs built for "monitor use" are overpriced, I wanted something small, XLR in, and I wanted something that could go low enough to not only mix but also let me know if there's some low-end rumble with on-location recordings that I need to filter.
Mark, you are right on the money man, I am planning on getting an M22 setup with two EP400's, one for each channel. I believe that monitor equipment is WAY overpriced, and the response curves are not near as flat as the M22. Combine that with the EP400, which is quite frankly a very musical sub, and you get get a killer mixing and monitor setup (even with just one EP400, two is overkill, but whatever!)

The concensus in the DIY community, if there is one, is that large ported is the best. The problem with sealed is that you need EQ and a LOT of power to get a sealed sub to extend really low. That usually introduces distortion.
But he said he was looking for music not HT, so really low extension is not the need here, unless Robb gets into Pipe Organ music, which I highly doubt. Quick and fast response is of the order and a sealed sub is generally viewed as being better at this.

Jason, I can safely say that I will NEVER get into Pipe organ music!

Even if it's played by Keith Emerson?
