From what I've heard, I think ported is louder, but slotted sounds better?

Aeroports=better airflow in the box=the ability to reach higher SPL levels.

why waist the money to buy a port when u can just slot than if theres no performace dif?

i usually gain 3dB's with vented. ported is not as good due to the resistance the wood has on the airflow. when i tested it out in my wind tunnel the tests showed exactly 4killajewels of air resistance. which renders ported sucky

aero's are the way to go

what is the difference from a vented enclosure and a ported enclosure??? aren't they the same or was you talking about an aeroport?
