If the sub he was using was meant soley for a ported box it'd be one thing. But most every sub out there will work in a ported OR sealed enclosure. Any sub will almost always be louder in the correct ported enclosure as well. So find a 10" sub that performs better in a selaed enclosure. Come up with a new excuse.

I determined the guidelines because I made the bet. I feel the freedom to use any amp, any wiring/electrical supply, and control over your own sealed enclosure is enough.
