tacomabanga1986 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 lol, my sealed box gets loud and low but each box has its pros n cons, but to my understanding a sealed box is more of a universal box that will sound good on what ever music u decide to play on it, i kno mine does but for some reason the bigger the box the lower the bass, or thats what i get from it and why dont most ppl run downfires any more? i put one 12 in my bro n laws blazer in a sealed downfire and it was louder than 1 of my 15's in a sealed box off same amp and same song too i unno why downfires are louder than a regular sealed box, i guess cause it works off a bandpass principle somewhat ive never had any problems with sealed boxs, but i have ported aint tommy mc kennys truck a sealed box turned into a bandpass? or is it ported? oh, and randy "assman" had 32 10's in a sealed wall n it was playin lows like hell, so it all has to do with install being if its ported or sealed, you can make a system sound like shit or a concert either way here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomabanga1986 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 i must admit that my lil 5&1/4'' sub in my logitech comp setup puts out some damn good bass for what it is, plays lows nice too maby its the new wave lol sealed sound good but ported can get closer to the subs resonance and let it do what it can, but the next ported box i build im useing tubes, every slot port i build plays higher notes loud as shit but doesnt like low notes at all it takes some practice to get ported boxs right but they can sometimes yeald more sq than a sealed in a way but i still got a place for sealed boxs here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey I still run sealed all the time. I love a sealed box and they can get complicated to build too. Theres a time and a place for each design and some woofers just won't play in sealed boxes well and yes sealed boxes can go LOW.

ISO Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 These new bigger more powerful subs just seem to be better suited for ported.

97SSBlazer Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 its obviously because people can't afford full pieces of wood, so they have to resort to buying wood with wholes in it. lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they have sealed specs, you don't want to run them sealed. Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.
