Active underseat subwoofer vs active box subwoofer in terms of sound quality.

[himanshu0192]

option 1: Blaupunkt XLF 200 A ----- under seat shallow sub(150 watt RMS) BLAUPUNKT: *Speaker

option 2: Blaupunkt GTB 8200 A : (75 watt RMS)this one comes with a ported box, but i will seal it for better SQ and cleaner and accurate bass ----- BLAUPUNKT: *Speaker

IS there any difference between the two in terms of bass response? If yes ,which one will give accurate base response?

Both subs runs on class D amplifier. Car space is not a issue for me. I would prefer better SQ and low SPL.

Which one should i buy ?

blaupunkt is not the brand you go to for sound quality man, their product quality is extremely low end nowadays, they used to be good back then but have been cutting corners with their product quality. if you want nice sounding subwoofer, @Maky has a 12" morel ultimo SC he might sell you since you guys are both in india, you can meet up and see how it sounds. Some of the best SQ woofers on the market.

Most definitely the Blaupunkt gtb 8200. Leave it ported. It's tuned to 41hz which is a tad on the high side to make it loud I suppose and to make the most of it's amp, but you could change the port length if you want it lower. Sealing it will just make things worse as you lose your efficiency since it's low powered. I didn't notice any port noise but likely cause it's not pushing 500 watts either. It's a high sensitivity sub which is good since it's only 75 watts and I think it's pulling a 1ohm load on that sub.

It's actually not a bad little sub, it's entry level of course and most on here think quality means carbon fiber cones from top level brands or something but it's quality enough that it will last and doesn't get hot all.

I haven't experienced that particular underseat sub. But if it's anything like the really cheap ones like Soundordinance then it won't have much low output. However I was thinking of getting one under my dash to increase the mid-bass up front stage and cover the 80-150hz region.
