Someone asked about which type is better for music and why? The answer is "Sealed", not ported.
The reason is because a ported sub is basically wrong.
1. That port can only drone at one frequency, like when you blow across the open neck of a pop bottle. One note.
2. An electric bass can produce different notes. So can an upright acoustic bass. When playing a bass, one hand plucks while the fingers of the other hand choose a note. With a *sealed* subwoofer, you hear those *different* notes.
But with a ported subwoofer, you'd only hear that one drone. It's fine for the footsteps of a T-Rex but not for Jaco Pastorius, or Stanley Clarke, or Roger Waters, or Sting, or Primus.
