you shouldnt have port noise with a correctly ported box.

i would say, for sq sealed, and for tight accurate bass keep the box as small as they reccomend going.......

You might want to think about a ported enclosure.

I built my first ported box for my e15k and can't

believe how much louder it is compared to my older sealed

box. The SQ is still good. No port noise at all!

As long as you make the port area large enough you

won't have any port noise. Plenty of people here that

are good at enclosure design.

If you really want to go sealed I would go for

the larger 3.10 box for the best SQ.

Even sealed, those 2 15's will get loud! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you were only using one 15 I would go ported

100% to get max SPL

what exactly are you asking?

give them about 6.5 cubes combined before driver and bracing displacement...
