[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 356404, member: 550915"] The answers should be: it depends, ported. From the standpoint of accuracy, the proper sealed enclosure will be more linear and faithful to what is in the recording. Some people think that this sounds muffled and want the extra output of a ported enclosure. This is their idea of "quality." To each his own. It's not really linear, but it sounds good to them and that is what is really important I guess. For real SPL, ported is the only way to go. Of course the sub will sound like utter trash and you could damage it trying to play music through it, but if you want to win at dB Drag...Again, to each his own. [/QUOTE]
