Sounds like you're pushing it pretty hard into distortion. This is also one of the big problems with ported subwoofers, personally I never use them. The problem is that the air velocity through the port is too high. You're just trying to get too much air through the port and in order to do this it just has to go too fast. You can stuff the port lightly with Quilt Batting material and possibly improve it some. Otherwise just get a sealed box subwoofer. Porting is a quantity enhancement not a quality enhancement. Go with sealed subs and use more than one. That will get you a lot better bass. Actually open baffle is the best sub, infinite baffle is the 2nd best sub, large sealed box, small sealed box, ported, bandpass is pretty much the order of best to worst bass quality. mk<br><b>References : </b><br> If you’re pushing it that hard then you’re probably going to wear it out quickly.
