Have ~3cuft, Shiva-X2 ported or Tempest-X2 sealed?

Okay, so I'm not really finding the sub I wanted (Aurasound NS15) for the price I was okay with paying, so...

I have about 3cuft total, including driver and any ports... WinISD says a ported Shiva-X2 will work and it also says a sealed Tempest-X2 will work. The ported Shiva-X2 will dig deeper but the Tempest-X2 setup has higher sensitivity and the driver has more Vd. What would you go with?

i have always been a fan of how a nice sealed box sounds. the control and how low they can drop is just sex imho.
