if you want to hit lower lows ported is the only way to go

With that much power you'll have to go with sealed, and a small sealed box at that, if you don't wanna cook em.

ported boxs give a much deep bass, A sealed box is best for any music that demands tight, accurate bass. Expect flat response, the smaller the sealed box the higher the res freq will be.

A PORTED enclosure will generally have a better low frequency extension for a given response shape, If you made the enclosure as small as the sealed enclosure, but ported it to gain the low frequency response, the output would deviate from the desired flat response. ported will gen have a more boomier sound.

the loudest vehicle out there AFAIK is sealed

meeeh gl with your build

and yes sealed does have the loudest setup but not daily, its a db drag, totally different then any daily driver, sealed are less efficient so you can put a punch of power on a single sub, cadence did this with 2 daytona which are rated at 1500rms and with 2 of them put 8 6000 rms zrs9000d amps on them, as the poster said before you are abloe to overpower the recomended sub with a small sealed box because it is less efficient. so when dbdragsters blurp they gen use sealed boxes. as for daily ported are generally 2 to 3 dbs louder
