Which type of enclosure best 4 a sub

[huggy54]

What type of enclosure is best for a 12 inch sub.
Vented box, Bandpass box or sealed box.

i jus need really precise and distortion free bass.

please peeps HELP.

sealed for what you want and ease of making it

i agree there

let me also add quite loud and clear. tell me u guys whats the pro's and cons of sealed, vented and bandpass enclosures

[KAMENi]

vented gives louder bass at desired frequency, but it can damage the sub (if you dont have a subsonic filter).
sealed gives fast and precise bass, and can go loud, but not as loud as vented. more sound quality is gained with sound dampening the box (putting wool in it)
bandpass is the best, but its hard to make 1 on your own, so it has to be bought and made especially for your sub.
gives clear and loud bass, also with desired frequency (something like vented+sealed)

ported box's give you around 3db louder than lealed boxes

[saxx]

but not as good quality i believe

[KAMENi]

that's right
BP is the way to go, but it's not easy to construct at home, so its pretty rare

Coz I got the Vibe Monobox 3 amp and getting a sub in an enclosure, well kinda made my mind up best to go with their bandpass enclosure.

but my sub kick out 600 watts rms the vibe space sub im getting kicks out 600 watts rms. but in different enclosure the figures vary. in the bandpass enclosure its an extra 200 + watts rms. will i need a stronger amp or is the xtra watts generated by the type of enclosure.
