Newbie here. I was wondering what's the difference between the two. I know what a ported box and sealed box is, but what's the difference in the quality? And which would you prefeR?

 

some subs like the ported box better some dont.. just up to the sub you pick my personal fav is the bandpass.. nice and deep

 

Depends if you want super loud bass or a some one kinda crisper bass. I had a custom made fiberglass seald box in my old 300z wiht one JL w3 and it hit pretty hard.

 

I always go with sealed, gives it a tight bass sound. Ported gives you that louder "longer" bass. Sealed box requires you push more watts than a ported box. Anyways go with the recomendations of the speaker, if they allowed for a sealed box, I say go for sealed.
