^ Dukk is chairman of the ported box club and feels sealed is inferior.
Personally I prefer my boxes small, it makes my driver look bigger

Cool, thanks guys. Although I don't think linear actuators would be feasible for 90% of the applications out there, your opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

One thing though... by building a ported with a linear actuator to seal it, would there not be air leak issues?

I could be wrong though.
just had to quote you cause you told us not to
