inm Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Give me some pros and cons of both sides please. Which is louder? Which takes up more space? If you need this info: Car is a 4 door Blazer, daily driver. Subs are shitty Kickers until I can afford DCs. Haven't really decided on an amp yet.

P4killer_ Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well ill just use general air requirements for an average 12. Generally its 1-1.2 cuft sealed and 2 cuft or so. So that being said 3 12's should be on in 3 cuft or a lil less since its shared air. Maybe like 2.7 cuft. As for ported its about 2 cuft each so roughly 4 cuft plus port displacement. Without designing a box and knowing the dimension of the port I couldn't say how much air it will displace. But well just say .5 cuft. So I'd say 3.7- 4.2 cuft should be ok. As for what would be louder its impossible to say for sure but in general ported > sealed. Again this is all general without knowing the details of your equipment.

toaster Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 As a general rule, ported gains around 2.7-3 dbs versus sealed with all factors being equal. Same power, probably be about equal, with the ported design having an edge over the 3 sealed.
