[QUOTE="tommyk90, post: 2676755, member: 545293"] Wrong. A ported (leaky) box will let the sub spring back quicker because the pressure can equalize quicker. A sealed box restricts woofer movement (ever wonder why it is easier to get a ported woofer to move farther, i.e. reach xmax, with less power versus a sealed box? Ever wonder why nearly every sub manufacturer will state that you can feed more power to a sealed sub versus a ported one?) and if you push on the cone it will NOT return quickly. If you don't believe me, go get a ported and sealed box and give it a shot. $5 says you will retract your previous statement. Why do you think people are using bandpasses for SPL competitions nowadays? It helps restrict woofer movement so you have more control over the sub (and can feed it more power) while still having the output of a ported enclosure. [/QUOTE]
