2 15's ported will hit better numbers than 4 sealed. My 1st year 2 yrs ago I started with 4 12's in a sealed box, hit a 141db. Got a ported box and downsised to two and hit a 143 same car and amp. Hope that helps.

If your looking for higher numbers on the meter (which you will see only a couple times a year) then a ported box for the 2 15's, if you want to be a street pounder in your vehicle driven daily then 4 15's sealed is the way to go.

Not sure on this, but I ran 2 15's sealed, and then tried one 15 ported.
Got 144 with the 2, and got 151 with one ported.
I had box space issues, so I could not give 2 subs the proper box size, but still, was no comparison.

The first issue to address would be how much power do you have to work with?
