Sealed will be loud in your truck, but ported will be louder. Sealed has tighter, more accurate bass (mostly meant to retain sound quality) and will require a tad more power to push the subs than ported.. and ported will be louder, and less defined. |

Gold Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 1097 Registered: Apr-06 | It depends on how small/large the box is, what sub you have, and a few other factors. I wouldn't worry about it, what I would worry about is the type of bass you want. Are you going to want to have annoyingly loud, swooshy bass, or do you want nice tight punchy bass? |

I'd build a box with two seperate sealed chambers. I'd also stick to a smaller box, but stay within the specs for your subs.
