I have 2 15" Diamond audio subs what box will they sound the best in ported or sealed? Which one will they hit the hardest in?

Hrmm. I think sealed has a nicer SQ as it adds a lot of depth, but it won't "hit" as hard. HAHAHA, go bandpass! J/K! Really though, ported can go low, but it's always gonna lack in that depth sealed adds.

big ported fan here, as long as we're not talking about a car with a cabin like a coffin... But with that 15" ported is really your best choice. You got it to be loud as hell, and thats what ported will do for you. In general 15s can be tuned lower than 12s or 10s and that takes away a lot of the disadvantage assoiated with ported boxes.

Most of Diamonds subs are designed to get best performance ported, or small sealed. I'd go ported.
