I don't personally lik ports in boxes but if done right for the right kinda music i guess than can b ok.
The experience i had with a ported box was I gained a little bass but the control and quality of it was sacrafised!!

depends what music you listen to. If you listen to rock music, etc then you want it sealed.If you listen to stuff like r & b type music then you want it ported.
I have got mine ported and I like it. I listen to all types of music from rock to garage, r & b and lots of bass music and it handles everything fine.

basicly, long, slow bass lines like in garage, drum&bass, hip hop, r&b etc sound best with a ported box, and fast bass lines like in dance, hard house sound best in a sealed box... easy
