if the ported box is built to specs, then it will be louder then a sealed box.

^^ What he said.

Unless the box was specifically built for the subs that you have I would pass on it. Unlike sealed boxes, ported boxes tend to be less versatile when it comes to mixing and matching subs.

Ported tends to be louder but sealed is generally better sounding. With two 15's and a big amp (or amps) a sealed box built within the sub's specs is the best bet. You'll get lots of SPL and it'll be nice sounding bass too.

What subs do you have?
