[QUOTE="Revelle, post: 8842254, member: 688136"] So I currently have some shallow mount 12in pioneer subs that according to their specs, have a recommended enclosure size of .76cf for a sealed or ported box. Which is odd as I've never seen a sub with recommended volumes being the same for ported and sealed. So if that is true, and I can basically do either ported or sealed, would it be possible to have a box that can go back and forth between being sealed or ported? I currently have an under seat box that has an internal volume of .86cf per sub and with the restrictions I have the maximum port length I could achieve, round port, would be 12 in. Looking at a port calculator it looks like I could do a 2in diameter port that would be about 8in long, which would have me tuned to about 32hz. My main question is, would a 2in port for a 12 in sub be possible? aka sound good. Or would I be better off just leaving this as a sealed box? [/QUOTE]
