i have 2 15" kicker comp 250rms 500max i was thinking about building a ported box for one of them or maybe both, i want it to get alot louder than it is now and i was wondering if anybody thinks its a good idea, because my brother bought a jl audio 13W1 and i thought W1's were crap and he built a ported box for it and it was loud as hell and i dont understand why

ported boxes are 3 decibels louder than sealed @ the tuned frequency....

those kickers will sound way better in a ported enclosure.

a good rule of thumb is to never seal a kicker. i am yet to hear of someone liking a kicker better sealed than ported.
