how much louder would this be

[wptightend 10+ year member]

Hey guys I have 2 12 inch L7's in a sealed box being pushed by a zx1500.1 amp. They sound good in my explorer but I have them in a really small sealed box. I purchase a kicker facotry box that they sell with the L5's as a loaded enclosure but i finally found one withough them and got it. Anyways my question is in my explorer with the 1500 will they sound alot louder in the ported box than they do now in the sealed box. Below i have the specs for each box and the link to each box before and after. Thanks guys

Since you have both boxes put in the ported one and tell us which is louder. They weren't being jackasses, you asked a question that only YOU can answer...

Normally yes ported will be louder.

I agree though, build your own box if you can. Borrow some tools, get someone to help, etc...
