What sounds better a ported box or a sealed box?
If you like your music “boomy”, vibrating your car’s body panels, you want to consider a ported (vented) enclosure. These types of enclosures, when built with the properly calculated volume and tuned to the correct frequency for the subwoofer, are generally louder than a sealed enclosure.
Do sealed boxes get low?
It’s pretty self-explanatory, but a sealed subwoofer is a woofer that has either its front or rear surface inside a sealed box. That’s because a sealed sub has a very flat frequency response and tends to play tight, full bass that provides a level low-frequency foundation to your music.
Do 6×9 speakers have good bass?
It all depends what you’re looking for and your system set up. There’s a myth that 6×9 speakers are no good for bass and even overall sound quality, but it’s not true. However, if you are looking to get a subwoofer, a set of 6.5 speakers might be a better option.
What happens if your speaker box is too big?
Remember, there is such a thing as too big. As the size of the enclosure increases, the mechanical limits of the woofer will be easier to reach. If the box is too small (by a reasonable amount) add power. If the port becomes too small, it may result in port noise, or allow the woofer to simply unload.
