[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8852759, member: 654802"] It does take more power to get it as loud as a ported box at any given volume, but sealed does sound great. If the sub is a lower power sub, say 750 watts RMS and lower, it will sound good. I currently have 2 12s of ~750w RMS each in a sealed enclosure. Each is in 1.25 cu.ft. with 600w RMS going into each one and they pound hard. They are not high quality subs so I set the low pass frequency as high as the amp has, that way they blend better with the front stage. Following recommended box volume is very important for good sound. Too big or too small of a box will kill your bass. [/QUOTE]
