Default Ported or Sealed subwoofer enclosure?

I'm rounding off my system with an Infinity 10" 1062w. Not exactly sure on the benefits of certain types of enclosures. Anyone have any input? This is all I've pretty much found.



1. Sealed = tighter bass vs. Ported = deeper bass

2. Sealed = more amplification needed (don't know how true this claim is)



This specific sub is more geared toward the SQ crowd, which is why I bought it. I'm looking for a clean bass supplement. Something that can even tighten up the bass associated with electronic music. With that, would a sealed enclosure make it too tight?

Based on what you want I would suggest a sealed box.

Sealed boxes are also pretty hard to mess up if you don't have much box design/fabrication experience.

It is more or less the same in your trunk Open supposedly has a bit more thump.

My advice would be: if you want open buy an enclosure from infinty for that sub (I would have put in a link, but do not have enough time) or give them a call on how to build it.

Personally I would buy a sealed box - now that you already have the woofer. Found this site. You can also buy them used.
