[QUOTE="jemorgan85, post: 359524, member: 546520"] Jlaine just showed you his experience... Anyway, a ported design does restrict cone movement. You'll notice by sticking the same driver in a ported enclosure and a sealed enclosure with the same power, that the woofer in the ported enclosure will not have as much excursion. The sealed box does not detract from cone movement, it detracts from air movement in the box. This pressure is what causes your excursion. The ported box would force a lot of the air out of the enclosure, and allow the woofer more room to move. The quality of the sound is what you like.... personally, I live my woofers ported. You may like them sealed. [/QUOTE]
