I like Sparky3489's link. It's explains pretty good the advantages and disadvantages of each type of enclosure. Only thing I didn't see mentioned for enclosures with ports, is that you just don't port an enclosure. A port tunes the enclosure to a certain frequency, this isn't something you can do yourself. There are computer programs to help you do this. You will need to measure the enclosure inside and out, place these measurements into the program. Some programs will tell you what depth, size, diameter, and even where to place the port(s). You also need to decide at what frequency you want the ports. There's alittle more involved than just sticking a tube and a hole in an enclosure.

Sub Enclosures?

vented or ported allows the air to travel out of the box creating more bass when it hits the back of your trunk.. you could also turn your sub box around where the subs are facing your back and that would feel like you have alot more bass.

Best Price on Sony Xplod Subwoofers?

I did the switch to ported (vented) about 2 months ago and I LOVE IT! the bass is so much clearer and the hit is alot cleaner. You still get the loud thumping bass, but without all the blurriness that comes with a sealed box. I'd definatly switch!

Vented boxes are very unforgiving, sealed ones aren't. If you have good data and understand WHY a ported box does what it does, then you might give it a swing....

Ported boxes are foghorns - they produce SPL at the expense of overall quality. If you want quality, buy a bigger amp to do your SPL and use a sealed box (they have a flatter response curve than a ported box).

what are the common or main problems causing a sub to freeze up.?


The biggest annoyance with ported boxes if that if you don't size the port diameter right (generally people make them too small for the length of port they have selected), your box will "wheeze". You will get sick of that in a huge hurry. Go for bigger diameter, shorter ports if you are using a software program or spreadsheet to help you design.

I pesonally have 2 MMats 12's in a 2003 blazer and has out thumped almost every setup that i have coem across. It is in a ported aero port box at about 49 hertz. They are bad *** to say the least. Go with a ported box and like others posted make sure to keep the ports at the right size. Download a computer program to help you with this.

loud subs?

sealed gives flat response were a vented box has a "bump" @ the tuning frequency. sealed is extremly forgiving on box size were as vented isnt if u dont stick close to the speakers specs u run the risk of damaging ur sub and after u pass below port frequency u lose pretty much all acoustic suspension(air pressure) leaving only mechanical suspension (spider,surround) which i have heard can damage ur subs even @ Low wattage levels
