Sealed Subwoofer
Will a sealed subwoofer box that fits two 12's sound distorted or not very good when playing rock punk etc.?
If so what are some good places to find out how big of ports I should give my box. I am building my own and just curious of how it will sound. I need a balance between rap and rock. Thanks
Sealed boxes are much better than vented ones for rock. Vented car boxes tend to sound boomy with a very "loose" bass as they're difficult to tune to the car, especially so if you don't have the Thiele-Small parameters of the driver you're using.
Those parameters are used in conjunction with a formula to give you port diameter, length (if it's vented) and box volume. (for sealed or vented).
Sealed boxes are less efficient - meaning for a given power input less sound is put out - but the bass is a lot tighter and better defined, which is a must for rock. The simple basslines in rap aren't very demanding, so you can get away with a 3rd order bandpass or vented box.

Are 12 Inch Dual Subs Worth The Money?
My 12 inch Dual subs have been treating me great. I bought these subs a couple of months ago and they are still pushing the bass levels real heavy. I would advice anyone that is somewhat thinking of buying these subs to do so and not think twice.
When I started my journey a couple of months ago to find the best deal for my dollar on a car system, I made the choice to swipe my visa on the Dual subs, amplifier, and enclosure. I am totally new to car audio, so I didn't know where to even start.
Best Buy gave me the chance to play the subs in the store while I listened to their sound levels. The employee there informed that the bass would sound a little bit different in a car than in a huge open spaced store, but it was somewhat close I think. In my mind, you cant really beat "hearing the actual system before you buy it."
I'm real happy with my Dual system and love showing it off to others. I think it sounds so well because all of the components are Dual and designed to work with each other. I have a couple of friends that somewhat tried to copy me and went out and bought the same system, but it doesn't sound as good.
I advise that if you are going to buy a Dual system, to buy all of the Dual components together. I have heard Dual subs in sealed boxes, and it sounds like a world of difference. So there you have it, my car system review on my Dual system.

Author Chris, loves to share informative reviews with the world. Read a more in depth review on the 12 Dual subs. Car audio reviews are tough to find because there are so many different components. The Dual 12 inch woofers are a great subwoofer. Dual makes tons of great products that are also affordable.
