Re: got some new subs
A sealed box will give you greater accuracy and a ported box will give you more efficiency (more thump for the watts.)
Being an old fart -- I tend to side with accuracy, especialy in trucks where thee isn't all tat much interior volume to fill.

Re: got some new subs
Firstly, you can't jsut go and drill a hole into the box and call it a "port". It's just a box with a hole in it...
400watts should be just fine to run these things. I have SERIOUS doubts that they could handle more then 300watts RMS...

Re: got some new subs
lol exactly. it'll sound like crap of you just make a hole, it needs to be tuned and edges smoothed for the best sound. just leave the box sealed or look around at pawn shops and getcha a ported one
