Question

i listen to a wide varienty of music, rap rock and everything inbeterrn, but i still want the bass to be pretty loud.

im running the two alpines on a alpine pdx 1.1000, about 1000rms x1 @2 and 4 ohm

the subs are

1500 max

500 rms

Answer 1

go with ported. ive always been a fan of ported boxes and if you listen to any rap its gonna make a difference. its gonna make those subs perform for the low notes to the best of their ability

Answer 2

Your own term of, "bass to be pretty loud" should lead you to wanting a ported enclosure.  If your preference is to have tight, accurate bass then go with a sealed enclosure.  But since there's no mention of that, then the only recommendation is to go ported.

Answer 3

Both, i have 2 rockford P2 10's in a sealed, ported, and bandpass custom box. Sounds insane, pioneer rep told me it sounded like 2 15's.
