Ported or sealed? I had them in a sealed box and was not pleased. The internal volume was 1.5 ft per sub. So im thinking ported. The box is going in a 4 door blazer. If ported what should i port it to? I have a jl 500/1 powering each sub. I listen to mixture of music. Mostly hip hop though. Please help

You said 3 ft per sub or more. Im trying to see if anyone has done a box. bigger and if so how much bigger.

they work ported....

as to exactly what they need I don't know, nothing in a subwoofer makes it unable to be ported. I would run them 4th ordered though. 2 12's in a blazer fit's 4th order.

audiophil told me they should be run ported at all...they do not make good ported woofers.....something about the qts and qms being way out there....

What would you recommend them at 3 or 4 or 4.5 or somewhere in between?

 

[Imtjnotu 5,000+ posts]

somewhere in between there from 3-4.5 should be ideal
