ported no, they tuned at like 43hz i've checked almost 80 prefab boxes, 1 i have i thought was ok even it's tuned closer to 37 hz than 35 as i thought and normally ports are to small..

I thought so. I’ll probably just sell it and build one

i woulda had my custom box a month ago but my box builder has 3 jobs lol.. i had 3003 pioneer until i installed my fu today lol.. pioneers are better than peeps give them credit for.. are yours 10's or 12's? i had 2 premier bullet cones yrs ago and had a box made 3cf ad box tuned to 35 hz with 2.5"wide x 13.5" port i have the specs for it if u need it..

Sell both and get something better than mainstream brands.

prefab enclosures are usually tuned pretty high.

Oh so what was the purpose of this thread?

Play them in the box and see if it suits your music and style of listening. Every now and then, subs and a prefab will be ok for someone. You'll find most of us are elitest car audio snobs. We like things our way. Is the box ideal? Absolutely not. Will it maybe play what you want and you'll be happy with it? We don't know. If you find it lacking in areas then we could help more. Some people are content with their prefabs and it is a place to start.

The purpose of this thread was to ask what the title says -if these boxes are any good. The reason I asked was that I don’t have the rest of my system yet but I came across a good deal on subs. So while I’m saving for the rest I thought I would ask people on this forum to see if it’s better to go ahead and build a box or use what I have. Thanks you sirs
