[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 7069605, member: 560148"] Yup. My subs ported even compared to IB are louder until about 18hz lol. If you tune low enough the bandwidth you gain ouput is so low that ported is just louder in general, unless your ONLY goal is sub sonic reproduction. Also, you need alot less excursion so lower distortion too. For music I really only worry about output down to 25hz. Anything below that I can't hear much anyway and generally you just hear flexing car panels being excited. At 22hz even in my caddy the rear deck flex is louder than the tone. Still have to reinforce it. [/QUOTE]
