+10dB of gain from a vented enclosure???

Anonymous	Posted on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 - 18:52 GMT i am playing w/ WinISD and i designed a vented enclosure for my sub. when i click on the "port gain" tab, it says that the box has like +9.8db of gain. is this for real? can a vented box really have that much gain over a sealed one???
