Hatch Box: Vented or Sealed?

To best conserve space fiber glass is your best bet. But when the sub's cone is pointing out of the box seal it but if ya want to flip it and have the cone facing into the box port it.

That's a new one on me... And what are your reasonings for this kind of statement?It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Me too. I've never seen where it made any difference, except for cosmetics.'85 Toy

Just personal experience on my part. I feel it muffles the volume of it. Usually makes no difference for the average listeners but the SPL guys are a little nuts.

i had a 93 couger with a sealed box with 2 12's in it.the box was 1.5 cubic feet per chamber and i had the box facing fowered to the back seat (it seemed to hit harder).i had two diffrent subs also 1.rockford punch he 2.power acoustik fubr .the only thing was i used a lot of power.the he's were only 200 watts a peice wasent enough so i went w/ pa and 2 800 watt amps and that S*** slammed.hope this helps1 pioneer deh-7700mp hu
