[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4801812, member: 549629"] You missed the point. The point was you are comparing 'sealed' to 'ported' and giving conclusions, when in reality you are only giving your opinion based on 2 boxes. For all we know you built the thing with some skewed alignment for the sealed. I said 'factory recommendation' in my previous reply because some people like to fall back on "I used the recommended enclosure size" rather than actually researching what they truly made (in terms of alignment) as if the factory never gives bad advice or even just advice that your personal taste disagrees with. Factory recommendations are just that, a recommendation, not gospel. You compared the sub 'sealed' versus 'ported' and described the differences in terms of output and frequency response. Obviously the ported will have an output advantage, no contest. But for frequency response, that is just as much determined by the sealed system's Q as it is by the vented system's tuning frequency. Again for all we know, your ported system had very exaggerated bass in the mid to upper 40hz region, which many people consider 'extending very deep' when in reality it is not. Sealed systems should inherently have deeper extension than their average ported counterpart. [/QUOTE]
