      What kind of sub do you have? I have two 12's in a vented box and wouldn't mind a little more bass.

      I always liked the response of a sealed subwoofer however in my car the bandpass seems to perform well.

      General Rule:

      Ported for Rap/Techno

      Sealed for Rock/Metal

      Whichever the manufacturer recommends. I'll go with the factory specs.

      This is a loaded question! All subs are different. I like sealed setups but I currently running a ported box (because that is what was needed). SQ > SPL

      Sealed

      Better response, tighter sound and smaller enclosure

      I voted the way Chad did... mine is sealed and I like it alot, but Chad really knows his stuff and I know next to nothing about it all.

      I have a small vented enclosure with a 10" alpasonik 400series sub dual 4ohm voice coil running at 1.2ohm. Hits crazy hard and responds great!
