Jescort Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Ported boxes will generally be louder than a sealed, but disadvantages are that the sound quality suffers slightly (depends on the sub and the build of the box) also you need to build the box to the sub, eg. the right size port etc, otherwise you can end up making a good sub sound cack. Ported boxes also tend to produce a slightly "laggy" bass sound, whereas sealed boxes will "punch" more. It depends on the design of the box. You really need to find out what the manufacturerrecommends for the sub, in terms of sizes, tuning etc. Ported boxes are good if you listen to rock, hip-hop, r&b, and sealed are better for dance, d&b, and other fast music.
