I have a Rockford Fosgate 1000bd powering 2 10" Rockford Fosgate T1's. There in a sealed box right now and hittin about 124 db. Would it be worth it to get a ported box cause i heard with theses subs there really needed. Also does anyone think i could blow theses to subs with the amp that is powering them.

 

if you only turn the bass tuner **** 1/4 the way up the wont blow. anymore and on a hard hitting song, they could. your box is fine

 

Yea but is that with the gain all down or up i have the gain like on 1/4 and its on my factory radio and that is only 1/3 up on the bass

 

It sounds like the amps and enclosure compliment the speakers well. If you had to turn the bass up 2/3 or full then you'd have a weak link somewhere or the gain adjusted improperly.

Sealed enclosures give you tighter bass because of the dampining effect the sealed box gives. A ported box might get a bit louder but it will be boomy...all depends on the music you listen to...Rock/Punk.... Sealed sounds better, rap, hip-hop...ported might sound better.

As for what is 'really needed' by the subs. A sub can work in any enclosure. It just makes a difference on the Qspecs (Thiele Small parameters) with respect to the size of the enclosure for a given type. Sealed usually require a larger volume (cubic feet) of space and more power to produce the same dB as a smaller ported box because of the dampening effect the sealed enclosure has.

Who say's Ported is really needed for your subs???
