TRTC360 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 How big is the box? How much space do you have in between the two subs? You could possibly do aeroports or a slot port.

14dbass Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 No ported boxes are generally bigger then sealed. So you can't just cut a hole in a sealed box and make a port to put on the box. The sealed box is to small.

getlocivic Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 ^^ no u cannot use a sealed box and "turn it into" a ported box.. ported boxes are larger to make up for port displacement and such unless your working with a stupid large box.. example a single 12 sealed box is prolly around 1.2 1.5 cubes at most a general ported 12 box needs to be 2 cubic foot or bigger (or smaller depending on sub application) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattc3366 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 You can but it wont sound right and wont be to its full potential. Sell that box and build your own !

TRTC360 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Like i said, if its a really big sealed box then yes it can be done and sound good but if not then you have to build another box.

breeze919 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 It is possible but I wouldn't recommend it, subs will more than likely sound worse than they are sealed. Just save up to buy or build a proper ported enclosure.
