Friend of mine stopped by the other day with a pair of 15's sealed in his trunk. Clean deep bass! I miss a sealed setup.

Guess you never had a good ported setup.

Best sealed box is one that's inside a ported box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I really like ported boxes and I've built quite a few nice ones. I just enjoy the broader range of frequencies from a sealed box

Idk, sealed boxes don't get low with volume in my experience.

friend of mine has been having that debate also. Everyone says ported but ive heard some nice sounding sealed boxes around

You gotta have the right sub to play low in a sealed box. High powered sealed could be alright but idk, just not quite for me, I like it too low and low and flexing.

Yesss...

I'm doing 8 15's in a 4th on 28kw of korean power soon. Got the 4 7k's in, just waiting on the subs and then I'm getting the enclosure done

I was trying to figure out what it was I wasn't liking about a sealed setup and I think you've got it here.

I threw a sealed pair of 12s into my jeep as a temp because I had it on hand. I have a pair or ported 10s in my van and I like it better even with less cone area and power. Then again when I listen to bass heavy music it's usually pretty low (frequency-wise).

I like playing well below 30 hz, a sealed box in a ported box does that well. Now I've heard sealed boxes in more home audio type setups that put ported ones to shame, but that's because ported boxes don't pressure the environment in a room like they do a car, so sealed allows for more power without bottoming out and a wide frequency response.

Can you explain this more? Any pics of and enclosure such as this?

ported has its place, but the more bass happy among us won't recognize that
