I had 3 15s in a 9 cube sealed box at one time in an extended cab chevy doin 46s. It can be done but you have to do alot of testing to get it right

Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year. New build should be coming soon in a dodge cummins smile.gif

You can have a great sealed GP car, but you have to have enough cone area to compensate for the loss in peak port output. A sealed wall with a crap ton of cone will get loud, play low, and retain a great bit of SQ. But, a sealed wall will not have that peak output spike that a ported box offers.

love the sound of a well setup sealed system, I don't care for the boominess of a ported box.

Boominess could be a myriad of things, including a crappy design or a shit built ported enclosure.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

i think its fucking hilarious how when people buy a box at best buy and end up having poor performance, and then they think that thats how all sealed/ported/bandpass boxes are.

a properly designed ported box will out perform a sealed box any day every day.

And it isn't just the box either. The type of sub you are using has a LOT to do with perceived "boominess". That was really hammered home for me this weekend when I borrowed some subs from a friend and put them in my box. While both my subs and his subs both sounded great on low bass rap songs in my box, when it came to higher bass songs with snappier bass, like heavy metal, there was no comparison between the two. Both sets of subs have somewhat similar characteristics, specs, power handling, etc. Same exact box, same exact port, and one set sounds great, the other a bit "boomy".
