Re: Ported vs. Sealed


A ported sub will give you more output down to it's tuning frequency and then drop like a rock from there. A sealed sub will have a gradual roll off as frequency decreases. There are really too many other variables to answer this question correctly. ie - what type of driver, how big is the box, what tuning frequency, port size etc... all play a roll in output, extension and distortion for a particular design.
