Silver Member Username: SymplestilesStockton, CA Usa Post Number: 318 Registered: Aug-04 | interested indeed. how much would it cost me and have you made many of these in the past? theres plenty of room for the box in the ext. cab truck and im not looking to allow people to sit there so space isnt a problem. do you have any photos of previously made boxes by yourself? |

Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 104 Registered: Nov-05 | i wasnt talking about a snell shell, just a normal slot port tuned to the recomended frequency on the cerwin vega |

Silver Member Username: SymplestilesStockton, CA Usa Post Number: 322 Registered: Aug-04 | would a properly tuned ported box be as clear sounding as the sealed i have now? SQ is more important to me than SPL, just wondering if both could be increased. heres a pix of the box im using now http://www.topedgeonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=7389 |

Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 109 Registered: Nov-05 | ported would probably sound better |

Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 284 Registered: Dec-04 | sealed boxes offer better SQ! a properly built ported box will not "lack" SQ but it will not be on the level of a sealed box. Ryan, if SQ is more important than SPL sealed is what you want. but that's not to say you can't achieve great SQ through a ported enclosure. It also depends on the subs t/s parameters as to which box would properly suite the sub |
