[QUOTE="Glenn Adams, post: 131926, member: 6611"] Re: Sealed vs. Ported Subwoofer Enclosures in Pro Audio I am sure my comment will bring out the long knives but so what. You don't even need the box if you can tour with a baffle large enough. Over my years using subs, from Martins bins, to W's both ported or not, and just about every ported design in between, I can only say that the port helps design a bigger sounding box with a smaller box. That is more low end from smaller enclosures. ( and yes I know the boost is only at a certain band for frequencies that the port is tuned to and the rest of the level is about the same ported or not). But take Danley subs that merge the back wave with the front wave to gain the most efficiency from every watt. Can't match that with a sealed system. PS- I always liked the throw from the Martin bin. Or should I say "Punch" [/QUOTE]
