Which is best for me sealed or ported?

I want to know what style box should I get sealed or ported I listen to rap mostly and I am getting one 15" Mach5Audio sub

Rap usually sounds louder on ported systems due to its bass heavy style.

It doesn't always sound better though.

If you aren't concerned so much about the quality of the sound compared to overall loudness then ported is more suited for your needs.

Just be sure you've got enough room for a ported enclosure as they tend to be about double the size of a sealed enclosure

So do you think I should go sealed. I want it to be a mix of SQ and loudness.

[Supa_c 1]

No.

Port it, tune in the mid to low 30hz range.

If you give me a idea of what it is I will I just don't know what it is. I'll google it

The MAW-15's have done well in a good number of ported, low tuned installs.

I don't even think the OP needs low tuning....
