10 ported or 12 sealed

[TinyGiant]

i like sealed 10"

its all around good sounding. the 12 will move more air and be heard farther from the car probably. my 10" is perfect. if you listen to rap its loud and low and the metal that i listen to is nice and punchy. i'm not a fan of ported or bandpass. sometimes you hear the air passing through the ports too .. which i dont like. you can go smaller with sealed too :)

port noise is easy to avoid if designing your own box. There is a way to calculate how fast the air will move through the port, if it's higher than 17meters/second then you MIGHT have noise... But if you use an aeroport... you can get away with speeds as high as 25-30 m/s.
