Depending on size, shape and tune a ported enclosure has the potential to be LOUDER not deeper. A ported box may loose control at higher power levels due to the loss of acoustic suspension. Because a sealed box retains its acoustic suspension throughout its entire playing range that will allow it to play through a much more vast set of frequencies which would only be cut by subwoofer design limitations. I would say a sealed box will play lower but if the same sub in a box able to play equally low the ported box would be louder. Polo. |
