[QUOTE="emilimo701, post: 7103752, member: 622834"] Yes I realize you are asking a hypothetical question... but such a question simply won't work. For example, the optimal sealed box won't be the same size as the optimal ported box for the same driver. All things [I]can't[/I] be equal. However, four sealed (usually for sound quality) subwoofers are a little gratuitous unless they specifically meet design requirements (you aren't going to go into that level of detail). I haven't heard of too many people running four sub sealed. Hands down, go with ported. They will be more efficient ~Subwoofer Box Enclosure Design Calculator - Sealed Ported Bandpass Closed Vented on that site you can see the direct comparison in frequency response. The story it won't tell you is impedance, group delay, phase delay, etc. Transient response is said to be overall better for sealed enclosures but better around tuning frequency in ported enclosures. I've never had the time or resources to do any side-by-side comparisons but i've never noticed an audible difference in sound quality between two properly built ported/sealed subs. [/QUOTE]
