Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 229 Registered: Nov-06 | comedy .. . lol . for newb style go with a sealed box, just cuz its easier to make and you don't seem like you know exactly what you want outta the system, so if you want ports you can always cut them in later. that is, if you plan to build it. there are other issues here that catch my eye, but being somewhat of a newb myself I don't feel I would be the right person to skool ya. hope you have receipts, lol, good luck. |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2067 Registered: Dec-06 | That's all I could think of. But even then, there would be a little extra planning involved. |

Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 14 Registered: Jan-08 | well that doesnt matter guys cause i already have a sealed box and a ported one but idk which one to use |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2070 Registered: Dec-06 | Well in my first post I answered that question. However, we need to know how big the enclosures are and what the ported one is tuned to if you already have them. |

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 230 Registered: Nov-06 | I was assuming that he wouldn't care about tuning, that's a quality issue and he doesn't seem to be overly concerned with quality. Cut some round holes and drop in some plastic... personally, since u have both boxes already I would just try em both and keep whatever sounds better. |

Bronze Member Username: BlaaaahhhhhWarrior, Alabama Usa Post Number: 15 Registered: Jan-08 | well I guess ill juss test them both out but I don't know how to set my gain up still even after I looked at that link} |
