a vented enclosure is more efficient. Meaning the same sub in a ported box compared to a sealed box will get as loud or louder will less watts.

ya but i wouldnt think that would make such a dramatic difference with 1000/1 amp comparing to his, and the slightly bigger sub, it actually feels weak compared to his which is so strong that without maxing it you cant even hear anything besides the subwoofer

huge difference

my buddy had 2 12w3's in a HO box with a 380watt kicker amp. I had to out bump him so I got 2 12w3v2's in a prowedge box (sealed). His was louder.... I got a 500/1 JL amp.... his was louder.... it's the box. HO makes it alot louder, and keeps it pretty clear too. you don't lose much SQ with it, but sealed sounds better.

I got my w7 in the HO box,then took it out of ther and put it into a 2.4 cub. box tuned to 32 hz, with about 40 sq in. of port/. '

On my termlab i gained 2 db between 30-45 hz , But imo did not sound near as clean as the HO box

I would take a w7 over an immortal. But I mean I guess some of the older immortals got loud. But the w7 is a much better built sub.

ported or sealed box? custom or cheap box?. The difference in amps. Wiring. the type of car, trunk vs open trunk. the size of ur car. ur car, some alternators have low amp compared to others. All these are factors in affecting the subs
