I am about ready to pull the trigger on this subwoofer, but I have some questions to ask? I currently have a Carver Knight Shadow that has stopped working and will cost almost as much to repair as getting the Outlaw sub. The Carver is a front firing 10" 500 watt sub. The Outlaw is a downfiring 10" 225 watt sub. How is the downfiring going to compare to front firing? Also is the 275 watt difference going to be that much. My space is 13'x22'x8' with openings into the kitchen and the foyer. Thanks for your help.
