Sealed box advantages:
Easier to build
Tolerant of anamolies in T/S specs
Slow bass roll off that often is quite accurately compensated by cabin gain

Ported box advantages:
More efficient

A well tuned ported box can sound as good as a well tuned sealed box but the odds of a successful sealed box are higher.

please teach class 1 basics

when using a car subwoofer , there are effectively boxes whose frequency response comes into play . The most obvious is the subwoofer enclosure, and thats what we've talking about so far. the second enclosure is the car's cabin itself , which imposes a frequency response of its own.
Typically, the response of a ported sub will be like
__...
|.. \..
|.... \.
while a sealed sub response will be like
.._..
./ .\.
/ .. \


but the point navin is saying is that the car's cabin has a response like

\
.\____

so together , when you multiply them, the effective response comes out flat

more accurately the roll off of most sealed subwoofers (Qtc about 0.7) is almost a mirror image of the gain posed by most car cabins (esp mid sized sedans).

A ported box will have a response that is more extended but it rolls off at a faster rate (past the "knee") as well.

No i am JUST trying to point out the difference between GT4-12 and CS1204 even though both are same, i never found any difference in them playing.

Why deviating from your answer bro.

You mentioned Frequency and I am asking if that it can play below that or not simple.

Deviating eh

Clearly mentioned above. Never stated how much low it can play or not. Just going by the specs given in the manuals and was pointing out the differences i found (according to the specs on JBL website)

Koi nahi, the freq response of the sub also depends on the enclosure in which it is installed. And the cabin gains plays a very important role bro. Like our GreenHorn commented.

If knowing the specs and posting them is ignorance then i must say ICE -Ignore Car Entertainment

abhibh, I wouldn't read too much into the specs shown on the site. The site itself seems to be unsure

From the same page

True Four Ohm - GTO Series speakers can be safely driven by any head unit.

Impedance 2 Ohms

and this is not just a one off, a lot of the GTO speakers seem to be unsure about their impedance
