could you explain it to me, i know about the whole more cone area is louder thing, but a ported enclosure uses both sides of the cone and i read (on the dd audio website i think it was) that it's basically a 2 for 1....

Doesn't that only happen when subs that are recommended for sealed enclosures are placed in a ported enclosure?

lol no. cancellation is when 2 sound waves "fight" each other.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Well yea, I get that part, but I still don't get how some subs are only recommended for ported enclosures if cancellation can occur...

Sorry for all the questions..

the acoustics of a speaker are the same whether it is recommended for sealed or ported (the physics behind sub range speakers making waves) but what is different is how the speakers are constructed and designed. A "sealed only" will play ported and vise versa but that is not what the drivers were intended to do so in theory a properly designed woofer will out perform another if placed in the right environment alone. Hence the commonly said, "Install > Equipment"

well thats kind of like saying "if amps can clip, why do they hey a gain?" you can do anything wrong and get bad results but then there is a right way to do things that wont give you problems.

That's true....I've made plenty of ported enclosures and never had any problems with the way the set ups sounded...except one...
