[QUOTE="GSteg, post: 114208, member: 543107"] ported can't seperate the bass frequencies? techno, trance, etc..doesn't have "low bass". the "tightness" you're hearing is from the 65-250hz region, also known as the midbass. you're expecting a subwoofer to play midbass?[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif[/IMG] i have 1 pioneers in a ported box tuned to 30hz. before i had pioneer speakers which had absolutely no midbass. the bass seems laggy and boomy, but after i upgraded to CDT audio speakers, midbass was improved over 100%. NOW the bass seems "tight". if it sound slow or laggy in a ported box, then i can rest assure you don't have enough midbass. and what about subs like focal? they are up there in sound quality (all the way UP there), and guess what type of box they like? sealed? no..try ported, vented, bass-reflex, whatever you want to call it. i'm a sound quality guy myself. all the box i've built are ported. only time i built a sealed box was for my other sub which i had too much power going into it. i had no other choice but to seal the box. if you can build a box correctly and take time to design it, then it should sound just as good as a sealed box.
