Please advise me on the above.

Im using a ported box now. But then realised that sealed box sounds better. Therefore, i plugged / stuffed the hole with a sponge folded thick. Is this small DIY plugging the port making the sub become like a real sealed box?

sort of la..`` but inside still got pipe ported... although u stuffed the hole...
effect should be same.. but not a perfect sealed ones..

completely wrong..unless ur sub can go for ported/seal with same volumn

wht do u mean actually? im really consider beginner in this ICE thingy. Do give me some advise.

Hey dude, i think your box is undersized for a ported box. sealed sounds better because they are more accurate and less boomy due to the fixed amount of air in the box. so if u wan SQ switch to a properly designed sealed box n u wud be v hapy

undersized? not so sure wor... newbie in this kinda stuffs.
so that means my DIY sealed one like the one in the picture is not good? hahaha... damn. i wonder if the accessory shop would like to trade in... mine new one ler.

at first, my ported box bass very powerful can shake my car's interior but then boomy on certain types of music. then i got sick of it and i stuffed the port with folded sponge till very tight mah...and it sounded much better and accurate bass.

Ported tend to give out nonlinear response, that's why you hear certain frequencies will sound louder than others. While sealed ones will have an almost linear response.Sealed box will sound mellow, for the same power rating their SPL will be only about half of the ported SPL.

IF you have enough power to spare then it's not a problem. But if you're an ah beng wif not much money to spend while want to sound loud, ported is your best bet.

u stuck the hole means u doesnt allow the speak to move in the a better way. If u r using big box its ok but since ur box is small u block the air flow the bass wont be wat it suppose to be... means u can get all the loudness but the bass thing is not accurate.. In term of boom boom boom u got it! in term of music.... nope u wasted that woofer

the best sentence ever!

simply closing/stuffing the ported hole will not do justice. normally full sealed enclosure should be bigger to allow more air movement inside the box. too small, it will just sound weak.

how much on average a sealed twin 10" woofer box?

The problem with ported box is u need to tune the port to the frequency tht sounds good to your ears. I had a friend tht kept on changing box cause it sounded bad with jazz as the bass was too overwhelming at certain frequencies and then there's worry about port chaffing coz if your port is not the correct shape of smooth enough some weird sound will come out.
