Ported or non Sub Box?

[Norby 10+ year member]

Hi guys,

my installer recommended non ported box for my Hertz ML3000.

Claims although it doesn't bump as much, the bass will be cleaner, tighter and more accurate.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, I'm too lazy to search, and opinions change.

My knowledge is mostly home audio, and I've seen very few unported subs or speaker enclosures.

My sub box is exactly as the Hertz factory rep recommended, I belive 1.25 cuft.

Really don't have any more room as it already takes up one seat in the back of my truck.

Now, does placement of the box make any difference? Mines loose with some wire slack and I can point the sub in any direction, or even move it around the back. Right now its pointed away from the front, shooting under the back bench seat with the seat down covering it partly.

I've experimented with the seat locked up, or with the woofer pointed up instead of back. Can't decide which is better.

most times, people face their subs towards the rear bumper and have the box pushed up agains the rear seat

nice sub!
