What kind of box should I get?

dklotusjuggalo Bronze Member Username: Dklotusjuggalo Post Number: 33 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 05:31 GMT I'm going to be running a Kicker 12" 2 ohm 800watt/425RMS sub. Should I get a closed box or a vented one? Which will be better for that low end bass?

Jazz, Pop, etc. like a sealed box and the resulting tight bass. Rap tends to favor a ported box for a more boomy sound. Sealed boxes have a greater overall power handling but ported boxes are more efficeint. All depends on personal taste. Tight or boomy bass is the bottom line.
