Ported or enclosed enclosure?

Question

i putting in a single 15 in a 1994 corolla. what kind of enclosure you guys recommend for that kind of car enclosed or ported. its a cvr im using by the way?

Answer 1

ported ALWAYS go with a ported box it gives a cleaner harder hitting bass

Answer 2

a properly build and tuned ported enclosure will ALWAYS out perfome a sealed one....not a best buy prefab or some Q-logic c**p...a properly made and tuned one. people that say a sealed box hits tighter more accurately and has a flatter response never heard a properly made and  tuned ported box.

Answer 3

Depends on what kind of bass you're looking for.  Ported enclosures will hit harder, particularly at or around the frequency the enclosure is tuned to.  The disadvantage is a ported enclousre will not be as accurate as a sealed enclosure.  A sealed enclosure will offer tighter, more accurate bass ... throughout all frequencies the sub is able to play at.  

So the answer depends on what you're looking for, really ...
