[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8338327, member: 574798"] You just never heard a well designed ported box. Many prefabs out there are made horribly and made for SPL purposes which give ported boxes a bad rep. In most cases, ported can sound better than sealed side by side only if they are made with the right specs. There's less room for error going ported so it can certainly sound muddy if tuned wrong. The problem with many mainsteam ported boxes are that it's too small and it's tuned too high. They make it like this to fit in almost any car so they make more sales out of it. I would always go for a custom ported box if I had a choice. SQ has more to do with transient response than just simply sealed vs ported. [/QUOTE]
