[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7864571, member: 622908"] Your ears are much more attuned to hearing misses in the highs. A 5ms delay can make highs sound muddy, but thanks to loading and the behaviour of lows, you won't lose sound accuracy in a 25ms delay from the subs. Yes, always always run ported if you have the opportunity. Not only does it sound cleaner if built properly, but it does give you extra output in the event you ever need it. Doesn't sound so constrained on the lower end of the music spectrum either. Higher peak is going to make it boomier, and lower your output (not to mention sub cone control and thermal handling) on anything >10hz below tuning. The higher tuning itself doesn't cause the two things in parenthesis, as they are universal traits, but it will increase the frequencies in which you will have to overcome those obstacles. In all honesty, if it were me I would set your low pass at 80 on a low tiered slope (12db) if possible so it slowly blends into your midbass. Won't make as sharp of an output drop off on stuff right at that 100hz mark. Just me though, may sound completely different to your ears. [/QUOTE]
