[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8668736, member: 673752"] I ran that sub sealed and ported and tried it in different sized sealed and ported boxes. To me it doesn’t sound good in a large ported box, same with my SWS 10 too and it doesn’t like to be tuned below fs despite what people say or model for you. I tried low tunes on both. I also modeled it in Bassbox Pro in several configurations before trying them out. The SWS 10 sounds better ported than my SWS 12 but the SWS 12 sounds great in a 1 cubic foot to 1.4 cubic foot box sealed. It sounded ok in a 1.5 cubic foot ported box tuned to 35 Hz using a round precision flared port from Parts Express. This is taking into account my preferences for sound quality and cabin gain for my vehicle so in other words it’s all subjective. I however have tried a lot of different subwoofers and the SWS line are one of the better budget subwoofer for SQ in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
