[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 2791784, member: 570419"] It depends on the sub I'm using. My av12 sounds just as controlled ported as it did when it was sealed. I gained a ton of output around 30-45hz though. It is more bottom heavy with the ported enclosure but that is what I was wanting. Sealed didn't have the authority I was looking for in those frequencies and porting cured that while still having great transient response and a smooth sound for songs that I don't want to be bass heavy. I will never go back sealed with this sub as I would consider a loss in sound quality. My setup does not have a very flat response while ported but I enjoy it. I would also never go sealed with the IDQ. It still kind of lacks some low end while ported but it sounds very nice, seems pretty flat from 35-90hz (to the ear as I have never metered it to confirm or deny this), and blends perfectly with my front stage while ported. It sounds great sealed but lacks in the 30-40hz region. [/QUOTE]
