Ported will be louder. And inverting the subs will only make a difference if your bow wasn't the correct cubic feet for your subs in the first place.

IN MOST CASES ported will be louder, but when dealing with a driver that isnt round (example: square or oblong) you will get louder with sealed, and he hit it right on the head with the displacement commend, all it really does is add room to the box, yet exposed all of the soft parts to the elements, so unless you have a garaged car and a pretty hefty woofer, i dont recommend going inverted.

Elaborate please.

Was thinking the same thing

im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire.

Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block....

Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos.

I know most of them. I couldn't list all of them verbatim however. Do you have a big write up on this? I would like to know the science.

Search search search search search, FUCKING USE THE SEARCH.

Fucking isitloudenough.net could even tell you the differences,pros,cons,procedures,etc etc etc.

lazy bums like me don't know the meaning of the word "search"

Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

More box builds

some cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches!

I'm with captain stupid.
