SnowDrifter Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Right... So I have a fi btl 15 in a ported box @30 hz. For both space constraints, and preference to sound: Even though it has no specs for a sealed box, could I do it anyway? What would I lose by putting it in a sealed box even though the sub it self is designed for a ported one?

That subs moving a hell of a lot more than a lower rated sub that doesn't need as much power. You're feeding a sub more power, which will add heat. Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track.

UniqueSounds Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 But if you inverted it in a Sealed box it wouldn't over heat. But i doubt it will sound to good sense it is designed for a ported box.

But i doubt it will sound to good sense it is designed for a ported box. Do you happen to know what makes a sub designed for a ported box vs a sealed one? Or is it just that the manufacturers are the only ones who know, and what they say goes? I'm not trying to contradict anyone, I would just like to know why, like in my last post.
