better bass sealed or ported

[stockfornow]

Like the title states i will be building a new box for my sub and want to know which you think will provide better bass. Keep in mind both will be built to spec. or will a bandpass box be the way to go. i am looking for loud bass

If all you care about is loud go ported.
If you want clean(er)/tighter bass go sealed.
If all you want is stupidly loud bass in a very small frequency range go band pass.

Well it looks like i will be getting a bandpass box. I put my ported box setup from my ranger into my suburban and it is nowhere near as loud due to the extra seats and length. I like to feel my bass. Thanks for the answer.

Before anything else, WHAT SUBWOOFER DO YOU HAVE? What bandpass enclosure did you use? Is it custom-built or just something you bought at the store or swap meet?
