    Volume on Front & Rear Ported and Sealed Cabinets

    When directly in front of a bass speaker cabinet, does the porting (or lack thereof) affect the volume you hear? In other words, does a front ported bass cabinet sound louder than its counterparts? Or is it increased bass response?

    Ampeg rb210: which extension cabinet???

    Curious what yalls thoughts are as to what sounds best under the rb210 combo. 115he, 115lf, 210he? The 115lf doesn't match in width to the combo BUT its ported as is the combo. Both the 210he and 115he cabs would match the combo in width but they're both sealed. Wouldn't that sound crazy...

    Do you prefer rear ported, front ported cabs or sealed bass cabs?

    I'm sure that this has been asked here before, but I'm curious what type of cabs people here on Talkbass prefer - Rear Ported, Front Ported or Sealed cabs - and why?? Thanks for your input!

I play an Ibanez SR605 through an Acoustic B600HD head running to an SWR 1X15T 200watt cabinet. I love the tone. It has a beefy low end and warm mids which is fantastic for my...

    Finding gold in mixing sealed & ported

    Acquired a home-made vertically oriented (designed to sit on one end) 2x10 cab recently that is very much sealed. The volume of the cab is about 2.5 cu. ft. I had a couple Peavey 4 ohm 10" speakers out of an old TVX 410 I slapped in the cab & wired in series for an 8 ohm load just to see the...

    Anyone else playing an All Tube Head through a Ported Cab?

    Thought I'd post this for fun.... I'm enjoying an old Ampeg through my Bergantino HD410 cabs. It's lots of fun with lots of boom...but so natural sounding! Not knocking sealed cabs at all. I'm learning Barefaced has made some deadly sealed cabs. I've yet to try a sealed Berg NV610 or NV412 but...

    Sealed Or Ported Cabs.

    Is there any kind of consensus on this? Do you just need the right speakers for the application? Do y'all like the ports in the front or the back?

    110 ported cab might be a stupid question probably is

    Ported or Un-Ported cabs.?

    My question is; When using Ported or Sealed/Un-Ported cabinets, Is there a significant difference in tone/sound? (I'm sure there must be). Can one tell the difference between the two if blindfolded and just using their ears?

    Sealed sounding ported 112...?

    Hi folks, I was wondering if there was any ported 112 on the market that is sounding / "behaving" like or close to what a sealed 112 would. Tight bottom end and punch. I'm considering the new Berg NV212T for larger venues but would like something smaller and easier to lug for bar gigs and...

It's handy, and 18s are fun... anyone...

    How to get a sealed cab tone?

    Hi talkbassers, every time I play through a sealed cab I seem to get an amazing sound. The lows are tight and punchy and the highs are smooth and round. It feels like the bass fills out the sound and sits nicely in the mix (at least on stage). Granted this is only about 4 times a year when I...
