ported

YEs thats what everyone has been saying. but ported leaves the cone to "move" more than ususal... this will damage it faster wont it?

not that much. I meen if you think about it, why would companies sell there subs in a ported box, if being ported just makes them prone to failure. Doesnt really make sense to me. it shouldnt impact the life of a sub that much. It will last as long as you want it as long as you take care of it and dont beet on it.

Yeah, if you put some crazy amount of power to it, then it probably won't last. If you send it a clipped signal too, that's bad. You should be fine with everything you have now, just be sure to set the gain properly. Check out the gain setting tutorial in the amp section.

if you really wanna get technical about it, sealed puts more "pressure" on the cone and restricts movement....which can be a bad thing have you a poorly designed box with improper power.

Sooo... much... to think about... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif This is more confusing that I thought. DUDES, clipping is distortion in sound right? AND I will hear it coming out my subs right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

not always, clipping can almost be an invisible sound on most songs, blends in with the beat obviously. this was just talked about in another thread, forgot what it was that you used to catch it electronically, but normally if you have a decent amp and keep the gain no higher than 3/4 of the way up, shouldn't be an issue, clipping doesn't just damage the subs, the amp is at risk as well.
