Hoi, No one really "hears" a 16 Hz tone - it is felt as bodily vibrations, if the subwoofer and amplifier can actually reproduce such a low note with any kind of audible volume. Smokee, Mixing a sealed and ported in the same system will result in muddy, indistinct bass - one won't "clean up" the sound of the other.
As to one over-powering the other - it completely depends on the sensitivity of the specific subs and enclosures. Shridhar, It's best if you visited a home stereo store, so you can audition first-hand what the best sounding suboofer would be for you. Jayanta, I strongly suggest you go to a car stereo shop and give the two kinds of subs a good listen, and then pick the style you like best, not what someone tells you you should like. Fluke, Ported sub enclosures don't just have a hole in the outside of the box, the port also has the length of its tube-like structure inside the box.
But go ahead and experiment - it may work out just fine. Looking for component subwoofers? Shop our selection. The easiest way to shop car audio online Find what Fits your vehicle Remove.

Basically, we came up with two distinct ways to determine which one of them will fulfill your needs. Ported boxes have Booming bass. Sealed boxes, on the other hand, have high bass and play crisply. If you want ground-pounding bass, a ported box is a way to go. However, there are some exceptions to this general rule of thumb.
Ultimately, and to put it plainly, we believe the quality of sound is far more a matter of good engineering and choosing the right tool for the job rather than a question of sealed vs.
Likes a sealed box can be loud, and a ported box can also be tweaked to sound as good as possible. Home » Subwoofers.
Room Size Matters If you are looking to fill a bigger room, the bass demand will increase significantly.

A sealed design allows a subwoofer to exhibit lower group delay, which is a measure of how fast the acoustic phase of the system changes. Ported subwoofers can reach lower on the frequency spectrum and render the most demanding low-frequency content with more vigor at higher volumes, meaning it can play louder and lower even with the same amplifier power and driver measurements, and the larger cabinet volume has a lot to do with this.
However, let me be clear, a ported subwoofer can also be incredibly musical, just like a sealed subwoofer can unleash palpable, chest-thumping bass for home theater. If you like to play movies, music, and TV and at high volume and really crank up the sound pressure levels SPLs , the science says that a ported subwoofer has the advantage when pushed with intense deep bass effects—especially with Blu-rays and other formats with demanding, high fidelity soundtracks.
If the dynamic limits of a sealed subwoofer are well-matched to the room size and playback level, a sealed subwoofer will envelop any room inarticulate, powerful bass. Room size can always be mitigated by going with two or more subwoofers, and using two smaller subwoofers versus one large one is often the best solution to allow for more even bass output throughout the room.
Among sealed and ported subwoofers with the same size driver, the sealed subwoofer is likely to be more compact and offer a cube-like design that blends more easily into listening rooms with less visual impact and floor space required. The extra cabinet space required by ported subwoofers allows them to play slightly deeper and louder, but also gives them a bigger footprint and overall presence in the room.
One of the SVS subwoofer design philosophies is to narrow the gap between ported and sealed models. Meaning, sealed SVS subwoofers have incredible output, and low-frequency extension and the ported models are exceptionally quick with pinpoint accuracy and speed in transients.
Ported Subwoofers — A Comparison, or you can always ask a World Wide Stereo representative to set up a demonstration so you can hear and see the differences for yourself. Regardless of whether you choose ported or sealed, adding a subwoofer to your home audio system is one of, if not THE most impactful sonic upgrades you can make and will bring a new level of feeling and energy to all music, home theater, and audio experiences.
