sq of a ported box

[jeepster 10+ year member]

i hear that the recommended tuning for sq for a ported box is 28-30hz, but just wondering how much is it going differ from the sq of a sealed box? i know sealed boxes have a better transient response and ported generally have a higher output, but whats the difference going to be between a sq tuned ported box and a sealed box?

with a properly built ported box u can attain GREAT SQ along with a usualy gain in output

but how will it compare with a sealed box. like will there be a difference in the sound? (other than the capability in output)

A ported box may seem "slower" to the ear

But properly designed and built, you can attain excellent sq with a ported box

This is also driver dependant, dont expect to get a woofer with a qts of .8 to sound good ported.

The key to sounding good in a ported box is

Low Q driver

Good design, and a quality build

It's called lack of midbass
