Message: <blockquote data-quote="helotaxi" data-source="post: 382532" data-attributes="member: 550915">From a pure accuracy standpoint the sealed box will be better at the cost of SPL than a properly tuned ported enclosure.  Most people won't hear the difference and prefer the extra output of the ported box.  A lot also depends on the sub.  Some subs don't react well to a sealed box (the old JL 10W5 comes to mind) and some sound like garbage in a ported box (eD O series is a good example).  Assuming that the sub will work well in either type of enclosure there will be a slight loss in transient response and detail in the ported box because of the properties of the port.  That 3dB of extra output isn't free.Those IDMAXs were seeing maybe 350 watts each assuming he was running the biggest Ti amp that PG made, the 1200.1.  They have a lot more potential given more power.</blockquote>
