POrted or sealed??

[RobertFielding 10+ year member]

HEllo all, quick question, im downgrading my system right now, from 2 12.1 infinties to a smaller sub, possibly a 10inch alpine type-r, (some what of a downgrade lol) but anyways, im looking on some thoughts should i run a sealed or ported encloser??? anyone have experience with these subs??? i love the hard hitting bass but also want good quality, i think thats more towards the sealed side, i have a 95 sunfire, and a fold down seat that is down most of the time. thanks

I'd go sealed, if you're trying to get loud don't use a single 10 inch type r

ported. and if you want sound quality then you might want to reconsider the type R. But they'll get loud as shit

2 would equal more cone area. But if you only have that amp then perhaps a 12" might be a better option?

quality as in sound quality, then they sound like ***. If quality as in well built, then yes they are.

doesn't matter what size you go with, they all sound shitty. What's your budget? Perhaps you can be pointed in the right directions by the members here

make your own box, then you have about 250 left for a sub

 

[RobertFielding 10+ year member]

yes making my own box is also an option, let say i make my own box.... and i spend 250 on a sub 10 or 12

ok not getting many replies now lol, im a total nub i know. but anywho, if i was to use a sealed encloser would the subwoofer still hit lows??? it seems ported is better for the lows but how is sealed??? cuz i need some trunk space lol
