Agreed (IMO).......Ported or Sealed, depending on what subs you're running and what kind of sound you like.

My subs are recommended for ported because they are compression-type subs,.......but I have them in a sealed box for a harder, tighter thump.

(Drummers like it Hard & Tight) DOH.... I'm talking about Bass!

custom built boxes mad for the specs of the subs will hit the hardest no matter what as far as yours and his you sub probably just performed better with the air space then his. My fosgates when i had them hit better in the sealed box i put them in then the ported one. I would look at how much air space your subs need and see if the box is close enough to make it hit.

you check the specs on the sub and it will have a cubic feet number for both ported and sealed boxes then you go off that.

What if you add in two subs? Do you just increase the airspace by adding in the displacement of the 2nd sub?
