Not SUPPOSED to be flat, I'm not saying what they CAN or CAN'T be, just the purpose behind their design and concept. I completely agree, the purpose of a ported box is to have a boost in output around tuning. I never said they are supposed to be flat. I am not saying that they are SUPPOSED to be anything in regards to frequency response. Your statement that I was disagreeing with was when you said "the true nature of a ported enclosure is to BE peaky". Ported boxes are not by nature peaky, though they certainly can be if you want them to. Their only true nature, in my opinion, is to have more output at the frequencies below where a sealed box would be falling off. Just how much more output is going to depend on how the enclosure is designed and the sub being used. The main reason I responded at all is because I hate to see overgeneralizations. Stuff like "ported boxes sound peaky/boomy/sloppy/etc, but sealed boxes sound tight/fast/flat/etc." Statements like those certainly can be true and many times are, but they can just as easily be wrong too.
