Sundown Vs Dc Audio

[EnvoyDenalii]

I had 3 infinity kappa perfects in a sealed box and they hit hard af and sounded great. That would be my suggestion.

The only SQ advantage for sealed is the enclosure is easy to get right. If you have the space port it.

you forgot group delay and frequency extension. Two incredibly important aspects of sound quality. Impulse response, yet another improved aspect of sealed over vented.
A vented enclosure is inherently resonant and has a much slower decay time than sealed. Not saying vented can't be used for SQ, not at all. But like mentioned above, it has to be built and tuned right, and then you need to apply special consideration with digital processing to control the phase characteristics.
