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

Mid 150s last I heard. Pretty obnoxious that's for sure.

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.

its all personal preference and trial and error... anyone heard of Steve meade designs, the guy with the 20k watt tahoe with 4 18's or his friend with the 30k watt excalade with 8 18's, these guys go big or go home,

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!

well depends on what your looking for too...sealed has benefits, and downfalls comapred to ported, and vise versa.
