Ummmmm baseball bats, ummmmmmm boxing gloves, ummmmmm that tire iron you have beside your drivers seat. I dont know I give what made hits?

SPL (sound pressure level) wise, measured in decibels.
I don't recall Meade's latest measurement.

Half a lifetime ago I used to compete in NACA and IASCA events with some limited sponsorship by Precision Power, Orion, MB Quart and Nakamichi......old school classics.

Tried dozens of boxes, all which I custom built for the vehicle, the drivers ,etc.....ported, early bandplass, sealed and some weird folded horn designs. For my system I was going to live with daily, sealed and partitioned every time. It sounded more accurate.

Have been thinking of adding to my system soon! Called several Audio shops and was told that sealed will not have the sound that the ported box will.

Since, I am just looking for a good mild system I am going to soon add a Sealed box and new 2 channel amp!
