I suggest reading your manual. The situation might differ with each brand or type of speaker, and you need to read your instructions so that you dont ruin your speakers.
Dont mention it. Based on the level of information offered, that was the best possible answer.
Obviously by plugging or unplugging a port, you are changing the accoustical properties of the speaker. Only the manual can tell you when and under what circumstances that it's appropriate.
For example, my sub has 3 large ports, and whether or not I cover one or more ports depends on the setup of the sub.
As for your situation??....I guess you'll have to read up.
that was awsome paul...haha. what did you think we would say skareb? if you bought them new dont you think you should ask your dealer or contact the manufacturer? even if you bought them used you can still contact customer service about it. geez.
Yea, if your kid throws a ball inside, use a sweeperhose extension to suck it out
If he throws a matchbox car inside, good luck with that because getting inside any wellmade sub is about as difficult as breaking into a tank with spitwads.
basically, a port plug will turn your speaker from a ported speaker into a near sealed (aperiodic) speaker.
which one is right depends on your prefences and how the speakers sound in your room more than anything.
unplugged, your speakers with have deepar and louder bass. your more likely to want to unplug the speakers the further they are from your back walls or the bigger the room
plugging the port will lower your bass volume, but it will make your woofer snap faster. your bass will sound less distorted and "punchier". if your speakers sound boomy, plugging them will lessen the effect. if your ports are backwards firing, you'll probably want to plug the ports the closer you place the speeakers to the back wall, ESPECIALLY on a bookshelf.
whether or not to plug depends on which sound you prefer. the ONLY time i ever unplugged my little mission speakers is when i was using them as subwoofers. otherwise, i prefer the tighter cleaner bass of them plugged. if you're a bass freak, you'll probably prefer the exact opposite.
it depends on what your ears prefer.

I have a SVS and all it took was unscrewing the amp and reaching in and taking the kid's ball out. Then just screw the amp back in place. Took about three minutes or less.
