is this sub better geared toward a ported or sealed box?

Sealed for these subs are great, also ported but get the full potential with sealed IMO

I have had it in a single sealed and I have dule ported, for a sealed box, they are noticeable. However if you put them in a ported box, they slam hard so it's really what you want, if you want to get noise complaints then go ported

More ported I'd say to be honest. They'd hit harder, give you more of that deep rich bass sound. Although if you have them in a sealed box they still hit really well. I have 3 in a sealed box and they smack but I'm switching to a ported box.

Its the Box with the subs. What you see is what you get. Its a great setup.

You would be much louder in a ported box but cleaner in a sealed box it's what your preference is

Just from my experience these subs don't work in a ported box. Maybe they just weren't working in my box but I ended up making a new sealed box and they beat pretty hard for 50 bucks a piece.

It actually works pretty good in a sealed enclosure. I bought an 8 inch sealed bass tube enclosure just to test out all the hype ive heard about this sub and I must say you definitely wont be disappointed

Depends on what u want a ported box will be more of a deep bass and sealed would be more crisp and clean. You do not want to change size of the box that is the propervolume u need for the best use

I had one of these boxes before and it does sound good. But there are some issues with a ported system. One,the speaker can get away from its web. Two,a sealed box will hit lower than any ported system.. You need a lot of power for a ported system to hit really low. I ran two power bass 10"s of a kicker mono 250 amp in a sealed box and I never heard something hit so low in my life. Just make sure you have a amp that has 18-db bass boost on it

absolutely I have two of the same subs running off of that very same amp. I have them in a 89 mercury Grand Marquis in a custom-built ported box the takes up the whole trunk when it was built to specs of the subs. For your truck I would suggest a sealed box unless you don't care about having any space left over. But that's just my opinion. Either way you put it, this setup will thunder. Beware hearing damage may occur. Lol

For a sealed enclosure like for 1.25cu.ft and 1.5cu.ft for ported. I personally have mine in this box, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004X63LQ2 gives some good clean bass while still delivering strong bass.

I'm running two of these monsters with a 2500 watt amp and they're in a ported single box, I've found they aren't very good at hitting the lows. Get the sealed box, trust me.

Wow man I wish I could answer that question. I really don't know. I mean it's a $60 sub. I'd think if you're sincerely concerned about those technicalities a more expensive setup is more for your liking.

I personally like the sealed box... sounds great in my denali xl..I have a box made to factory specs.

I have the 10" ported... sounds terrific. Deep lows, you can feel it in your chest. Sounds great with movies and music. But, after research, I believe the 12" sealed will be better for music.

Yes, you will be impressed if you are replacing the mtx. Different class of sub completely. And you CAN run this sub either sealed or ported as I have done both. You get way more output in ported though. This sub doesn't have to be run ported though, but it comes alive in a ported enclosure.

if you are going for sound quality then yes. If you want to get loud then go ported. A sealed box will save on space too. But the P3 subwoofer is made to work perfectly in both.

Any sub sounds better in a vented box. Even so, I made a closed box for the small space I have an it sounds great.

I got 1 of these and it hits pretty hard with my BOSS amp. If u are looking for trunk shaking i would go with 2 and get a 2 channel amp. Ported box is what u want
