depends what you want mate , a ported box will give you more volume , whereas a sealed enclosure will giv you better sq and punchyer bass

[jontell]

i like sealed personnnely, have a listen to both if you can and see which you prefer.

[derbyboyred]

i prefer sealed also but it depends what you are after

[aztec daz]

ive got 2 alpine type r's sealed and i prefere them to my mates ported type r. much more crisp bass!

[Tommy]

prob go for the sealed, then can get/make a ported box if i want

[kineticz]

Personally prefer ported but the reason I currently have sealed is down to the extra space ported enclosures need - especially for a 15" sub. :(

I had an RE HC 15" ported in my old car (Clio mk1) and that weighed the fooker down lol Before that though had two Alpine R types sealed and they pounded, nice accurate punchy bass response, but didn't seem loud enough to me

I would soon take a type R over the type S any day of the week though, be it sealed or ported. :)

[Coops]

If you want lowwwww bass, then get ported, if you want punchier bass then get sealed.

I love :love: ported :love:

i'm sure there isnt a BIG difference between the two? like major difference just the slightiest? since your not always going to be playing loww basey tunes but a mixture

[Martin]

better SQ?

better SPL?

Better VFM?

Better weight?

Better in terms of boot space?

Better in terms of looks?

better?!

Sealed or Ported Martin?

[Martin]

ported will be louder and less ressponsive and hit lower and provide more efficient VC cooling.

sealed is the opposite

[figo_rulz11]

ported seems tasty then :yummy:

[Martin]

meh. im going sealed next time

[SRI_Neil_SRI]

meh. im going sealed next time


just for a change or any reason?

[Martin]

i cant afford to repair my BM if i blow the boot open lol.

[scott_gibson]

alpine recommend you put them in the slot ported boxes tho???

i got x2 type r's in the alpine slotted boxes and the bass is awesome

[kineticz]

i cant afford to repair my BM if i blow the boot open lol.

Please tell me you're joking ;)

[Martin]

Please tell me you're joking ;)

You can ask him yourself. he only has 1 x 10inch sub :)

not now he cant he has a new locking system in place for his smooth boot. but yes, the bass wobbled that latch open lol.

[jimmi]

[Martin]
