Represents the style of the enclosure. Be sure to purchase the appropriate enclosure type and internal volume that will be compatible with your subwoofer's recommendation.
Sealed - Sealed boxes are those that have no holes or vents in it. The only hole in a sealed box is where the subwoofer is installed. Smaller sealed boxes require more power than a larger sealed box. They provide a tight, accurate bass, while the larger sealed enclosures provide a "boomier" and louder bass.
Ported / Vented - Ported/Vented Enclosures provide an even boomier, louder bass, but less accurate then a small, sealed box. Ported enclosures typically require more airspace per sub and also less power output from an amplifier to perform correctly.
Bandpass - Bandpass enclosures make subwoofers perform efficiently, but loose. The bass is not as "boomy" as a ported enclosure nor as punchy as a sealed enclosure. Bandpass enclosures work well with lower to mid-level subwoofers.
The box style or shape refers to the actual shape of the box. Square and rectangular boxes are straight-edged boxes on all sides, whereas hatchback and truck style enclosures feature an angled front or back design that allows for installation in places short on depth such as single cab pickup trucks. You can also use such enclosures in hatchback cars or other vehicles where space is a premium. Tube and cylinder shaped boxes were made popular by Bazooka and are a great option for those looking for a nice amount of bass without sacrificing lots of space. They may even fit in locations that slim truck boxes cannot fit in. If the enclosure is vehicle specific, we encourage you to read the product description to find out which vehicles the enclosure is made for.

A ported subwoofer box is a type of subwoofer enclosure that has a port or vent that allows air to flow in and out of the box. This type of enclosure is designed to produce deeper, louder bass response than a sealed subwoofer box.
There are several benefits to using a ported subwoofer box. First, ported subwoofer boxes produce deeper, louder bass response than sealed subwoofer boxes. Second, ported subwoofer boxes can be more efficient than sealed subwoofer boxes, meaning they can produce more bass with less power. Third, ported subwoofer boxes can be more forgiving of placement than sealed subwoofer boxes.
There are a few drawbacks to using a ported subwoofer box. First, ported subwoofer boxes can be more difficult to build and install than sealed subwoofer boxes. Second, ported subwoofer boxes can be more expensive than sealed subwoofer boxes. Third, ported subwoofer boxes can be more sensitive to changes in air temperature and humidity than sealed subwoofer boxes.
When choosing a ported subwoofer box, you should consider the following factors:
The size of your subwoofer
The amount of bass you want
The space you have available
Your budget
Your personal preferences
Installing a ported subwoofer box is a relatively easy process. Most ported subwoofer boxes come with instructions, and the installation process should only take a few hours.
Here are some additional tips for installing a ported subwoofer box:
Make sure the box is secure and will not move around.
Seal any gaps or openings in the box to prevent air leaks.
Position the subwoofer in the box so that the cone is facing forward.
Connect the subwoofer to your car stereo.
Experiment with different settings to find the sound you like.
All About Ported & Vented Subwoofer Boxes
Ported Enclosure Boxes
Ported subwoofer boxes are the best option for serious bass fans who want to have fun. It has a port on one side to allow air to exit and uses less power to produce a boomier, louder bass sound that can be heard from a mile away.
A ported subwoofer enclosure features a port that allows the back waves to be released with the front waves, which increases the overall sound output. The ports in these enclosures help produce lower frequencies, which are used in tuning for deeper bass. Ported/vented enclosures can be up to twice as big as a comparable sealed box since the airspace inside the chamber is substantially larger. The opening could be round or a tall, narrow slot with vents. Subwoofers are designed to function at specific frequencies, where they can provide the most volume.
The 8", 10", 12", and 15" designs are the most common sizes for ported subwoofer boxes. We also offer 6.5", 13", and 18" sizes. The ports' length, width, and diameter affect the frequency spectrum to which ported enclosures are tuned. You can choose single, dual, or triple-slot enclosures to house your subwoofers. Although the circular opening in our boxes is typical, we also provide square enclosures for Kicker subs. For long-lasting performance, these port boxes include thick carpeting and fiberboard construction.
