Changing box, sealed or ported? plus ? about tuning

[pwayzjellyroll 10+ year member]

So right now I have some prefab ported box my friend gave me. But what it lacks is it fails to hit low notes very well and sometimes the bass gets very sloppy. The box is a subzone box and someone told me it was tuned to 38hz or so. I have plans for a ported 32hz box but I also thought about sealed for cleaner bass. I have a Diamond Audio D612D4 and 600 watts going to it. Any advice is apreciated, I listen to techno and rap but I feel that I'm lacking in the lows.

If I were you, I'd go ported tuned at 32Hz or so, like you stated. The reason I say ported is that ported boxes have the potential to be louder and have similar accuracy to a sealed box... the only thing you will suffer from having one built or you building it, is that they tend to be large.
