Ported vs Sealed Box Enclosure

[redgst97]

Gary Biggs uses a sealed 12" in the dash for SQ...and 15s in the back for SPL. His setup has been that way since at LEAST 1999.

Alma, in her SQ configuration, used 8s or 10s for midbass, and 12s or 15s for sub bass. Again, sealed. The rear of the vehicle had a seperate sub system for SPL.

I do the same thing in the Eclipse....single 10" sealed for SQ, and multiple 10s for SPL. Granted, my SPL enclosure is also sealed. 4 10s sealed plus 600 watts in an Eclipse yields over 150db....when done properly.

so in a 97 hatchback which would be better, I have two 12" eclipse subs and a memphis 1000 watt class d amp?I have a ported box now but i also have a sealed box from my old set up. the sealed box is actually seperated inside, i really dont know why that is
