Sealed. Thats a tough question though, I say sealed because you have 2x the air being moved, but then again you have no backwave to help air movement.

All in the install,that settles it.

yeah very tru... i was told by some people that an xxx ported would maybe be like .5db - 2db at the most louder than the ported... but i dont even think it would be noticable

2 db would infact be noticeable, but that is a close call. I would have to settle for the sealed given proper power and install.
