you have a few of the basics correct, but you also have a few wrong.
Ported is just as well suited to an SQ set-up as sealed, if not more. The ability to tune the enclosure is extremely well suited to SQ. A sealed enclosure only has 2 things up on ported. Size and the ease of design and build. After that everything sways towards a ported enclosure.
I prefer ported over sealed when my build goes around it... if i'm doin a setup and none of my amps have subsonic.. sealed for the time being lol i know right.. but most of my amps are subsonic other then the jl 1000/1Originally Posted by BanginJimmy
The attack of the sub will never be the same when comparing sealed vs ported. Never. This maks a HUGE difference for listening to music.
That being said, just as SPL systems sound terrible, a true SQ system will not sound as good as you would think for the simple act of loading a CD and pressing play. Just as SPL, SQ is something that is purpose built.
I have a very kick ass system in my car. I have not seen ANY system on here or anywhwere that I would like better for me. However, I doubt I would do very well in a SQ comp. I even have stuff like Focal Utopia Be's, Auddisson amps etc... in other worlds very good ****. I also have a Kenwood double din DVD player. I Love it and when I got it I liked it's feature set the best. This unit is fantastis for listening to music... terrible for any competition.
The reason I am bringing up my system is to make the point that there are 2 categories. The big differentiators are competition and "daily driving." When people say they want an SQ system they really do not know what they are talking about if they are not competing. Saying you might compete one day... well how many 240 ownes do you know that talk about drifting but have stock rear ends?
