sealed vs ported for sq that packs a punch for a single orion hcca 10.2

[HellafideH3 10+ year member]

I have a single orion HCCA 10.2 being pushed by a Fosgate T1500.1 BDCP

I have it in a ported tuned to 45hz spl box now but cant play most music through it was wondering

If I put it in a sealed and crank up my amp would it still hit with a punch?

Those subs weren't really designed for sealed IIRC. Just do a lower tuned ported box. Maybe 32 hz or so.

Ported. Allows for sub to "move" more easily for better response.

Not gunna get much SQ out of a HCCA anyway but ported would be best for it

Actually, sealed boxes have better response. Just an FYI.

Thats what I had thought and true actual dbs right? Not a seemingly. Heavier bass like a ported, the manual says for best sq to go sealed I was just wondering if it would feel any different.I have my gain at half throttle and it makes the sub smoke it stinks up my H3 like its freakin on fire lol ive had eclipse titanium 12s back in the day in a sealed and they hhit so freakin hard and sounded amazing as far as sq this subs excursion is about the same
