<<this if i went ported... but how do you tune this ?

[MrSkippyJ]

well, a sealed clam is WAY easier to build. tuning on a ported clam, especially ported in the middle is a pain. and I dont know anything about it.

Hows the output on a sealed clamshell tho?

Seems as if you could go buck wild with the wattage to a sealed box.

Kind of a toss up. The purpose of going sealed is that you can get more cone area and more wattage. ...but at the expense of the port. But... you have to be careful when going ported clamshell. That type of enclosure by definition would be much less forgiving if designed incorrectly. It all depends on your $$, how much gear you can afford, and how much space you have. Your call.
