You can get different results with the same Sub by using different enclosures, i.e. sealed for audiophile performance; vented or ported deep bass; band pass pure SPL.



To a certain extent, I agree with you up to here. Although I have heard bandpass and ported (technically no difference between a vent and a port) that could be considered "audiophile". Also, certain specs will indicate an optimum enclosure type. Not all subs will sound good in a sealed enclosure, and some won't perform well in ported enclosures.

On the other hand depends in the amount of watts youâ??ll be running them. Makes no sense having a large sub with a small amp or vice versa.



I may be just misinterpreting you, but the way I am reading it, I will have to disagree. With most larger subwoofers, they are more sensitive than their smaller siblings meaning that given the same power will provide more output. There is a member here who has a sealed box with a Lambda PB15 with only 300w, and is reaching ~140 dB. All while retaining stellar SQ.

I have in my Contour a single 12� W3 JLAudio subwoofer in large vented enclosure, with 400 watts RMS from a Punch Amplifier a sounds great! Actually makes my rear view mirrors shake. I strongly recommend this subs. Hope this helps.




Glad you are happy with your system, sounds like it would be pretty nice.
