For a home theater, disregarding sound quality for right now, which would be louder 1 10 sealed at 2700rms or 1 18 ported at 2000rms?

The subwoofer would be a skar evl 18, with an nx3000 amp with a replaced artic f9 silence fan to reduce fan noise, the 10inch is the sun fire true subwoofer. I haven’t built a sub box before, if there is any help y’all can give me it would be greatly appreicited. Thanks

If you have the space for a refrigerator sized box there's no way a good 10 can match up SPL-wise with a good 18. There's just too much to overcome. Having an 18 is like having 3 10's. And ported vs sealed would boost the spl potential even more. At 2kw, 700 more isn't much difference.
