[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 2910672, member: 573988"] no hes right! because a sealed box builds pressure when the sub hits, making it not hit as hard... a ported eliminates alot of that pressure makeing it louder, but handle less power mechanically because it takes less power to drive the sub to its full potential... see... the thermal power handling of a sub doesn't change... a voice coil can allways take a specific voltage... but the mechanical handling does change, because some enclosures...(ported) allow the sub to reach it's maximum output potential without using it's full power potential. at the same time the pressure inside a sealed box regulates cone movement.. and sealed boxes don't amplify specific frequencies as "peaky" as a ported does. for every well built sealed box you can always build a "louder" ported box... on the contrary... for every well built ported box, you can allways build a better sounding sealed [/QUOTE]
