[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7810389, member: 614752"] Some use passive radiator, but I think cost keeps most people away. The main issue is cheap power and the engineering in the woofers, in days of old the woofers were just very biased to very large sealed boxes for performance...most people used small sealed boxes because that's what we could fit and sealed in a car is pretty forgiving. These days drivers are very robust and the good ones are actually built with small ported box and huge real-world power handling in mind. In short, I think the only reason we didn't use ported back then is the limitations of the woofers available. It's a shame "The One" is only supposed to be run at 18V. Really makes you wonder what'll happen if one were to hook it up to a 16V system and their voltage dropped into the 13's [/QUOTE]
