Anyone ever used PAP WMD woofers?

[desitdt 10+ year member]

I have 2 15" pap WMD subs and im trying to figure out if i want to do sealed or ported, im just afraid that i wont be able to give them enough room ported to make them sound right. my max is 6.45 cubed before any displacement. Should i go sealed or ported with these woofers with what i have to work with?

Ported.....even with your airspace.....those sumbish's will not like sealed! And 6 cubes isn't bad...might be able to beat on em a lil longer......

Subs can typically take a little more abuse when in a smaller enclosure because the enclosure size helps keep the sub from basically losing control. Larger boxes are more efficient, but can sometimes lead to a subs early death if the user doesn't know what they're doing.

Oh ok //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif currently i have two kicker L5s in a sealed box, and i love the punchyness i get from the subs...like its not the loudest system around, but it sounds good, can hit a decent range of notes, and has this internal rumble that i would accioate with a nice sq home system. Will i still get this with a ported enclosure? also i calculated it out and the subs will get around 2.87 cubes each with what i have setup, its a bit wierd of a box but its goes over my wheel wells (where the ports will be). Could anyone check out the design for me?

Well first thing is what should i tune these to given the airspace im given.
