I know people say that but that hasn't been my experience. Theoretically, a world-class ported sub and a world-class sealed sub wouldn't sound different and you shouldn't be able to figure out which is which in a blind test. And to be completely accurate, if a sub is truly good, it shouldn't matter what type of enclosure it is. Each has their advantages but like I said, I'm a sealed guy.or in my car, an IB guy, which is a large sealed "enclosure". Some like ported better as they feel it is more efficient than sealed, which it is down to the port tuning frequency but then drops quickly after that. I only use sealed subs as that is the sound I like, tight and clean. I've had many people have to eat their words after they thought the 24" wouldn't sound as quick as a 12" sub would. I now play with big subs as I started a home theater subwoofer company called Deep Sea Sound and have large 18" and 24" subs that sound better than they have any right to at that size. You don't want to play them too high though or the bass will localize and be easily identified as coming from the trunk.īy the way, I know clean bass as in my high school days about 20+ years ago, I ran a single Boston Acoustics Pro 10 sealed in my truck and it was tight and clean. Those subs running IB will only need about 300w each as they are very efficient and they are a very clean subwoofer and capable of playing CLEANLY pretty high, say 100-120 Hz. Instead of building an enclosure, I'm installing them Infinite Baffle (IB), which is essentially using your trunk as a very large sealed box. I can't help with the Lexicon system as I haven't played with one but regarding subs, I'm likely going with a pair of Acoustic Elegance SBP15 for my Acura TL sedan. I hope to create a build thread with photos and document the upgrade process for others as I've not found many doing so on the Genesis sedan. I have no idea what a ported versus sealed sounds like, so any advice is greatly appreciated.Ĭost is not an issue, I'll pay for quality, but prefer not to waste money if not needed. I've seen on the Genesis site people add a single 10", a dual 10" a single 12" and dual 12". I live in the middle of nowhere, so auditioning options would be challenging. I know nothing about subs other than I had a few JL's in the past. I like bass you can feel and also want to add richness to the system. I'm looking for musicality to blend with the factory system, but still add a lot of thump. I would love some advice on how to add bass and even mid-bass if possible with the addition of a sub/subs in the trunk. I believe this is called "free air"? It seems to not add much to the low end at all. The rear shelf has a center mounted 8" woofer that is open in the back to the full trunk. Overall it is a fairly clean, loud, and decent sounding system, but I feel it is seriously lacking in bass across the board. I own a 2016 Genesis Sedan with the 14 speaker "Lexicon" factory system, which I'm sure means Lexicon sold Hyundai the name for use and didn't actually build the system.
