Thank you.. May I ask if there are any clear advantages over sealed woofers rather than ported ones for planers? Thanks.
Follow Ups:
Sealed can have boomy or tight base depending on the tuning. The ported designs also can be tuneds for a "tight" base (underdamped).
Limitations of a sealed box are worries about a stiff and vibrating cabinet - bad at the low price point. A ported woofer exchanges that for the problem of port turbulence noise.Most the time sealed box equals tight base (or reflex = Boomy base) is just a perpetuated audiophile myth. btw "FAST" bass is also a myth
Properly designed, either works (as do infinite baffle, dipole and passive radiator designs)

Sealed usually has tighter bass with greater depth but at the expense of efficiency. If more music oriented then sealed, home theater ported if going for ultimate slam. This is definitely an over simplification but hopefully this helps with your question.

Thanks . It is what I will look for. Rhythmic has a great rep but they are expensive. (some post spoke of quality control problems?)
