Im having real difficultly deciding which type of enclosur to go for. Ive been on the phone to 3 different ICE companies this morning and two said ported and one said ported sounds better but sealed would be better for a clio?
I was, and still might make my own box, but some people have put me off slightly saying if i get it slightly to big or small or if the port size is to long, short or wide i could mess up the tuning and it would sound naff.. Somthing which seamed so easy to do is now looking very hard to get right.
Ive got it all planned out and ready to start building but i need some oppinions whether to go Ported or Sealed and if anyone can give me any advice on ported boxes, what can go wrong or what makes them good? I need the box to be 35.1 litres in volume for a sealed box, running the SWR 1242D 12" Subs, i know that but is it the same for a ported box, which apparently sounds better for the type of bass i want.
cheers
