Ported design sounding like sealed ... Is this possible ?

[blue 10+ year member]

I'm wondering if anyone has ever been lucky enough to hear a slot loaded design such as this one , sound as fast and clean as a sealed design ? I have a customer that longs for the extra output and bump of a ported design , but he wants ZERO overhang , perfect tone , and perfect transients ..... Sheesh !

I've heard some **** GOOD slot loaded enclosures , but never one as accurate or fast as a great sealed sub with lots of power on it .....

Thanks

hmmm, i don't quite get the thread...

that's the enclosure you built for the customer, and you're showing us what you did?

or are you asking for help?

he is asking if its possible to combine the best of both worlds and get the sound of sealed and the output of a ported enclosure (correct me if im wrong)

and to answer you question the closest ive come is the box in my avatar //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif it kicks ass

That's nothing more than a simple ported enclosure that looks nice. So it should sound like a simple ported enclosure that looks nice.

are snailshells any different than a conventional ported box?

Wow .... I didn't think it was THAT confusing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

The pictured box is an example of what I'm referring to , when I said THIS is as close as I have heard to matching a sealed design.

I haven't built my customer's box yet , but I'm looking for maybe something out there that will be exactly what he wants .... if not , I'll be forced to build one like this for him.

Did that help ?

OK ... I read it again , and it was indeed confusing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Simplified : an a box like the one in my picture , ever have the best of both worlds .... ported output and snap , with sealed accuracy and speed ?
