I understand that using vented/ported enclosures will yeild more SPL than a conventional sealed enclosure. But a friend of mine, said that when using a ported enclosure it isn't necessary to match/over-power the sub.
However, I always thought that when using a ported box, generally it was common...
im fixing to go get my 15'' l7 installed in my car but dont know if i should get a sealed box or a custom ported box. which one would hit harder and make it sound louder? i listen to heavy based rap and hip-hop
