[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 646666, member: 555320"] There is no "better". As greenslip mentioned, it all depends on your wants and needs. In output; yes. But, it really depends on the overall design of the boxes. Sealed boxes generally have flatter response and better transient response....but you can design ported boxes to sound really good and sealed boxes that sound really bad. But the ported boxes generally need to be bigger, and when designing a more "sound quality" oriented ported box you'll loose some of that output advantage. Not [I]every[/I] sub will work well in a ported box. Some subs simply perform best sealed, and perform sub-par when ported. [/QUOTE]
