Daniel Schneider Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 so im limited on space. i can either do 6 15s ported or 8 15s in a sealed box. i been crunching numbers for days and i just cant get the space for 8 15s ported. what is your guys opinions. what is gonna be the loudest? no particular brand in mind just in general whats gonna be better.

SnowDrifter Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 I vote 6 15s ported. But there are a lot of other install dependencies ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
Miguels Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 ported is louder. sealed sounds much cleaner. i always liked the way a sealed box sounded all around but also like how brutal the ported sounds my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

Even if they are sealed lol ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
john253a Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 Why not 10 or 12 sealed Considering the port takes up a lot of space and sealed has less net Then you can double the power also

Even if they are sealed lol my box is a good ported box. it gets very brutal with just 2 18's.. im just saying sealed boxes have a different kind of bass to it where it get punchy and very flat.we all know sealed boxes and ported have a different tone to it so dont try and be a smart ass about it. and yes 8 15's will be brutal in a sealed box but 6 in a ported box will be devastating my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

No need to get snippy. I'm just saying it's all in the design. You are talking about that smooth, reserved sound sealed boxed have right? You can design a ported box to sound like that (I've done it). But it still has the efficiency advantage of ported. I don't think it's entirely accurate to make such broad statements about how they sound when it's really all about your design goal that determines that. Plus: I doubt OP is trying to go for a clean, balanced setup that adds a bit of depth/richness on the low end when he is measuring for the most he can fit in a given space. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
