I have 2 Kicker 12's Comps in a sealed box, just want to know if a ported box would sound better?

 

Check the manufacture of the speakers... some speakers prefer sealed / ported...

I personally prefer the sound of a ported box as to a sealed one, but as stated, personal preference... They are harder to make sound good than a sealed...

i would say it depends on what you are going for, spl or sql, i have 2 12" ma audio competion series subs in a slot port, 4 sqft of airspace, tuned to 34 hz, i hit 142 db at a local comption, so like i said, its all about what you want your system to do

 

i installed the cvrs in a freinds truck and had a premade sealed box firing downward and they sounded like crap then i built a box for them with a big port it sounds so much better it makes ur hair stand up
----------
i had the cvr 10s in a freinds truck in a sealed premade box and they sounded like crap deffinatly go ported i made a new box with a big port and it makes ur hair stand up

 

I myself have a sealed box which has been good, but have been thinking about a ported box, anyone have any dimensions/picures of thier ported box? I want to make one but am not too sure how

 

Also depends on what type of music you listem to. Rap and dance like ports. Most rock, jazz, motown, etc prefer sealed. Also remember that 10's will generally hit harder than 12's. 12's will hit lower.
