naughtyca Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Just wondering if anybody has heard both sealed or ported and how does it sound sealed? Do you loose any Bass when sealed or does it go deeper? Most people i see run dual subs on ported just wondering if any runs them on sealed and if you have heard them on ported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 What are you looking for? To sound good but not loud sealed for output ported Sealed can go low its all in the tunning how do you tune a sealed box you may ask by its size For the most part you get way more output from a ported box but does not sound as well or controlled as a sealed box for the most part Have you ever had your woofers blown?

RooTxBeeR Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 In the exact same enviornment, ported will be louder than sealed.

Omega5002 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Designed correctly, a ported box will sound better than a sealed box, but a sealed box is very easy to design. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also thinking that the box will be manageable since im moving 1 sub at a time this dual sub box weighs a ton. So i want to know how much will i loose, right now I average 143db metered. that's why i was asking if anybody have a dual VVX on a sealed box and it will be great if they can post metered score if any.

sayhuh? Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I love sealed, but then again, I don't compete, and was limited space. If you lived closer, I would show you. They do quite well sealed. I'll try to get a better video later with the HD camera. Honestly, with the space you have, I'd stay ported. You can do two separate boxes, with aero ports. I guess my point is, if you are going to be close to whats recommended for ported, then why not port? Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naughtyca Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 if I go sealed on 2.5 cu ft per box I'm gaining 12 inches on length, 4 inches on depth and raise the height 1 inch which i dont mind. if i go 2.0 cu ft box size per sub will be like 18x11x18 LXWXH Right now my box is 44W x 17H x 19D= 2.76 cu.ft. per chamber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayhuh? Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Recommended is 2.2-2. something ported, so you can go 2.2 and ported. Unless you 1.5-1.75 sealed, you aren't gonna gain much space.You can always build it taller? Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Play with build the sealed box like you want but I would hang on to the ported one something tells me after a day or 2 you will reinstall the ported box Have you ever had your woofers blown?
