    Indecisive, Sealed or Ported, Opinions?

    As some of you may know from my last threads, I'm very in decisive. I cannot decide between ported, or sealed for my next setup. Ive never heard a sealed setup, I've only heard my own Skar prefab ported. Whatever I choose next will be a custom made box. I know the drivers matter a lot, but...

    Questions about upgrading setup…?

    I currently have 2 Skar SDR 10” powered on 1200watts in their ported box (loaded enclosure package). I’ve been pretty happy with the way they sound, how loud they get and how low they go. They literally flex my roof. However after about a year, recently I’ve been looking into upgrading to a...

    I went from a large ported to a sealed for my 15" and WOW

    Ok so I want to hear everyone's experience and input. I have a JD1000.1 pushing a 15". I had it in a large 3.85ft^3 box at 37hz. It was loud. It was alright. Some songs sounded awful, others great. I felt it wasn't as clean as I'd hoping for and I went for too much SPL at the expense of SQ. I...

    Sealed or ported?

    I have a 400WRMS 12 inch sub. Right now it's in a pretty small ported enclosure. I was about to build my own bigger ported enclosure but learned that if I'm a beginner, I shouldn't do that because you have to know what you're doing otherwise you can mess it up. Someone recommended just building...

    Please help with w7 10” box design

    I just bought a used w7 in a ported box that actually sounds pretty good. Thing is it’s a bit punchy for my taste. The box is 14x15x17 and the port is maybe 2”. I usually like 2 c/ft for a 12 at about 32 to 34 hz so I’m thinking that either a longer box like 28” with a larger port maybe 3” might...
