Spending extra money and getting something bigger, or not spending at all. A 12" + ported sub at the very least. This is just too weak to justify $. And yes, somebody could get 4 of them and do better than one big one, but that's a lot of time and effort to spend to get it to sound anything but awful.
All depends on the use case, some will argue sealed over ported for music.

It's not the 1980s. A modern, quality sub, like the newest Klipsch or what SVS pumps out, that is powered by a DSP will do a fantastic job with group delay.
Ported is louder for the money and bigger in size. Since the entire purpose of a sub is loud and deep bass, sealed just doesn't make much sense unless space is at a premium.

There is more to subs than loud and deep. Speed is key when it comes to music.

For the sub afficionados, how can you tell from looking at the specs whether or not a sub will sound good?
Do you look at how much peak & RMS wattage it has? The low frequency range it covers?
And can a low powered sub (as in wattage. I don't know how to define "low") still sound great?
You want to look for measurements of the sub. If you can't find of that sub, look for measurements of other models in the same range and then guestimate. Audioholocs, Erin's Audio Corner, and Audio Science Review are the main publishers of measurements. https://data-bass.com is great too, but they pretty much only measure the big boys.
Specs published by a manufacturer are generally useless unless they publish their own measurements. The CEA-2010 is what you want. If comparing from different sources, note that there are A and B versions of the test that give different results but that can be calculated from each other. Do some searching.

Sub "speed" is a vague marketing term used to con rubes into buying overpriced crap subs. What exactly are you talking about? Please describe something measurable, not some fantasy made up by audio marketers and pushed by YouTube morons.
Yes. They are usually the go to Slickdeals when it comes to speaker bundles
I have bought many speakers through Adorama, and no issues. Here is the authorized online dealer list as well. They are authorized for Klipsch clearance sales.

Group delay / transient response / overhang. All real. All measurable.

All perfectly fine on a DSP-controlled, modern, well-designed sub.

For those that want a decent sub, get one with twice the power and at least 22 Hz, like this one:
