Of course, that is dependant on the driver itself, as the suspension of the driver will determine what type of box the driver works best in. TLs and AP membranes are my favs for SQ, then ported, then sealed. There are a lot of misconceptions about ported boxes, mainly because they're more difficult to design and implement than a sealed box is. There are also a bunch of crappy ported boxes at your local Best Buy or Circuit City, adding insult to injury. |
