[QUOTE="OldFartAudio, post: 8712174, member: 680592"] You get the flattest response out of a sealed box. The consensus is that ported are louder and all things being equal they are, but only by a few decibels max. To clarify, I very seriously doubt you will get a full 3 dB increase just from a port. At 60 mph it probably won’t make a difference to you. I am probably the only person here that will recommend a sealed box but for musical sound quality you can’t beat them. Also, they have less roll off below their tuning frequency and between that and cabin gain I really don’t think you will notice much difference in actual output but you will definitely be able to tell a difference in extension.
