Sealed or ported?

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Well I am ready to install all my stuff. Just need to get a decent box. Have 2 12" alpine type r's. Should I seal them or port them. I want the bass to be more accurate and tight. I am powering it off a 1100 lanzar amp set to 1 ohm. Thanks for the help.

Well I want both worlds where I can get some decent bass but want the sq to be there as well. I am affraid that if I port that i will get that port flap sound and it might get sloppy.

ported won't be as bad as you think IMO. sealed, however, will still get loud, and much more accurate

*speaking, of course, in generalizations..*
