What are the pros/cons with ported/sealed boxes? I have 2 jl 10w6s currently.

In general, a ported box is more efficient (i.e for the same power level, it will be louder), but typically a ported box isn't as tight and doesn't have as good low frequency extension as a sealed box. A ported box will also be larger than a sealed box for the same woofer. I've had both setups with my JL subs and ported is good if you like rap and boomy type of bass, but sealed is the way to go if you want it tight and clean :thumbup:
