[QUOTE="VereChronicus, post: 1907399, member: 565864"] My bad, I just read that they are each in 1.3. Something you can do as a quick experiment is to put about 1/2 cubic foot worth of wood in each enclosure. See if that helps. If it does not do what you are wanting, go ported. The guy above has been listening to some garbage if he says that they don't sound as good. The standard vented box out there is going to be a little less than spectacular in the SQ department. To combat that comment that "ported" boxes sound worse-----there is a reason why MANY high end home audio subwoofer systems are ported. Nobody accuses them of being less accurate. A very fine subwoofer in a well designed vented enclosure will be as accurate as you'd be able to distinguish by ear. Most cheap subs don't do very well in a ported box, just to let you know.
