[QUOTE="okura_hubby, post: 8210333, member: 658958"] Too many variables to give a black and white answer. 1) what is desired outcome.. Accurate bass, Low bass, SPL? 2) how much space do you have to deal with? 3) certain speakers tend to perform better with one type of enclosure than other types.. Just got to see what the company recommends and go from there. Sealed boxes take the least amount of brain power, amp power, and produce the most accurate bass. Bandpass and Ported can produce lower bass or louder bass by using the box to not just support the speaker but to actually tunning it for low or SPL. But not as accurate. Chamber space is usually larger, and calculating it is more complex, because you are basing it on not just speaker demands but a frequency like 33hz and that can lead to port length calculations.. So your question doesnt have a specific YES type answer. [/QUOTE]
