I have no problem letting you listen to them I'm going to probably come out to a meet in the next month once I get everything nice and purdy.
When you port a sub you gain +3db (the same gain as adding another sub) because your using the air that is moved by the other side of the speaker. And I agree it's very hard to get a ported box right. I tuned mine LOW(28hz) also it's very important to have a subsonic filter when you port because anything below the tuned frequency can cause damage to your speaker. The IDQ ported sounds like it came alive that's the only way I can describe it

if it helps your decision any, the sub(s) will be hooked up to a phoenix gold zx600ti or ti600 (depending on what i can afford...)

I went with the idqs. Matched up to the phoneix gold amp, drool, sound be some pretty tight bass and sound really good.
Hwat does porting do? You can make the box peak at a certain freq, say 58 hz and gain db from it. Ported is good for the boomy bass while a sealed box is better for tight bass.

My freinds car has a ported box and last year she was SQ champion. Ported boxes are tricky t get right for some good bass. My port is tuned to i think 46 hz, box peaks at 58 and it sounds alright excepot for low, air movin bass
