[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8782087, member: 611804"] Lol seal boxes play a wider range with a shallower roll off. That's a known fact proven by physics. Ported boxes have been know to be louder at a specific frequency around the boxes tuning in which resonates with the vehicles acoustics. How flat a ported box plays is entirely up to the design as they can be super peaky one note wonders or quite flat across the board. I will say ported has the advantage over sealed in that you can cut volume to flatten the response. You can't boost volume without adding clean power assuming the subs can take it. As far as tight bass, I'd suggest lowering your low pass to 60-70hz and letting you midbass pick up from there to 2600ush hz. Most of that rapid kick drum should be played by the mids anyway since it its a high enough frequency to be localized by the human ear. From a sound stage view point that makes it sound like there is music coming from behind you which your sound stage should be in front of you. [/QUOTE]
