You didn't say what tuning frequency. A correct sealed enclosure usually gives a 'tighter' sound and feel compared to ported, and is very musical and very accurate. Ported/vented will almost always be atleast 3db louder, and depending on the tuning frequency you can get plenty loud with good accuracy, very loud with degraded accuracy and a huge peak in your bass response, or somewhere in between.

It all depends on what your trying to acheive ...

go ported... its always better IMO


if you got the room anyway.

u never said what size jl's..that is going to matter as well.



if ur saying u've got 2.2ft^3 now, i'm assuming that is the gross volume u can have. after u subtract sub and port displacement, u won't have that much.


looks as though (unless they are 8's, maybe 10's) ur going to be better off going sealed.






but u need to give us a touch more info...






wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
