Subject: Re: sound quality of ported vs sealed boxes


although what each of perceives as quality varies, generally
a properly designed and built ported enclosure can sound
just as good as a properly designed and built sealed
enclosure - assuming that the driver in question will work
well in both types of enclosures. you have to take into
account that some drivers are more suited to a certain type of
enclosure, and thus may yield poor results if you use it a
different type of enclosure. I prefer sealed enclosures over
vented (for car use) for two of the reasons you stated and a
few others:
-sealed boxes are easy to design
-sealed boxes are easy to build
-sealed boxes take up less space
-sealed boxes have more control over cone motion below the
tuning frequency
-sealed boxes just sound better to me (this may be in my
head, but i just prefer the sound more)
