Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers

Can someone explain why there are so few new "sealed" speakers manufactured . Yes, I understand the bass output limitations but adding a sub with some output control should surely make them a viable alternative.

As he's getting out of the car, a semi-trailer comes flying along too close to the curb and takes off the door before speeding off. Distraught, the lawyer grabs his cell and calls the Police. Five minutes l...
