[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8842354, member: 678073"] They only recommend such a small ported box because people are normally buying these to fit in places that are super small. They aren’t recommending that small ported box because thats optimal for sound. They would probably work better in 1.5 cubes ported, but if you have 1.5 cubes to begin with you likely don’t even need a shallow mount sub. Also, .75 cubes ported would work fine and be louder than the sealed option, but that’s .75 cubes after port displacement. If you stuff a port into a sealed box that’s .75, now the box is only .65 (or less) after the port displacement, and the tuning you thought was going to be 32 is now 37 or 38. [/QUOTE]
