korndog2003 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 If you want loud bass go vented, if you want sound quality go sealed, my Kicker L7 Hammers being vented... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznboi3644 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 why do people always think sealed = sound quality and ported = loud bass. its all about the design and install...I'd go ported for sound quality and overall loud bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker Guy Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 why do people always think sealed = sound quality and ported = loud bass.its all about the design and install...I'd go ported for sound quality and overall loud bass because no one has told/showed them different its kinda like saying a BTL can't sound good because they are meant for more SPL....

aznboi3644 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 ported = lower/smoother bass sealed = punchier/tigher bass Properly designed ported system can be just as transient but generally speaking yes you are correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstone11 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 because no one has told/showed them different its kinda like saying a BTL can't sound good because they are meant for more SPL....
