Sealed vs. Ported

cal payne Gold Member Username: Skibum12189 Cleveland Post Number: 2624 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 17:47 GMT trying to decide which to go with for my TC i listen to a lot of rock as well as rap probably 50/50, and i don't think a ported 15 would sound all that great on the rock i listen to (lighter rock, higher bass) so i was thinkin sealed would be a happy medium....will it still get loud?? what should i dooooo???
