A ported or vented subwoofer is a type of car subwoofer that uses a port/vent in the enclosure to boost the bass output of the subwoofer. The port lets air move in and out of the enclosure, which can make the subwoofer work better overall and make the bass louder and deeper. These subwoofers can also handle more power than sealed subwoofers and can handle more power, which makes them good for high-power car audio systems.
When it comes to blasting bass-heavy tunes in your car, ported subwoofers are your best bet. Find out which five ported vehicle subwoofers from Sonic Electronix sold the most units and received the highest ratings in 2022!

“Just what you’d expect from an L7” – ★★★★★
If you know car audio, you know the L7s are a great middle of the road daily driver. This product is no different. Nice, heavy, clean bass. Currently paired with a KXA800.1 amp and I’m very satisfied with the combination. Bonus, the sub and enclosure look fantastic with the blue accents!

Sonic Electronix CustomerRockford Fosgate Punch P2-2X12 (11P2-2X12) – 1600W Peak Punch P2 Dual 12″ P2D4-12 Subwoofer Loaded Enclosure
Durability: 4.8 | Value: 4.8 | Features: 4.7 | Design: 4.8 | Usability: 4.8
Subwoofer enclosures vary greatly in quality, but the Rockford Fosgate Punch P2-2X12 is one of the top performers. Rockford Fosgate’s own technology went into designing the dual 12-inch subwoofer, so it can take a beating and yet deliver a solid low end. The anodized aluminum cone of the subwoofer is rigid, lightweight, and sturdy, making it an excellent compromise between performance and durability.
Versatility is one of the best things about the Rockford Fosgate Punch P2-2X12. The subwoofer can handle a wide range of power levels and can be changed to fit different types of music and listening styles. The subwoofer also has a built-in crossover, which lets you change the subwoofer’s frequency response to match your car’s audio system. The crossover makes sure that the subwoofer only plays back the frequencies it was made to handle, making the bass response cleaner and more accurate.
When compared to the previous Rockford Fosgate subwoofer mentioned above: The Rockford Fosgate Punch P2-2X12 is a high-performance subwoofer enclosure, but it comes preloaded with Punch P2 subwoofers, has a vented enclosure design for a less powerful sound, and a built-in crossover for fine-tuning the frequency response, while the Rockford Fosgate Punch P3-2X12 is a high-performance subwoofer enclosure, but it comes preloaded with Punch P3 subwoofers, and so on.
Both of these Rockford-Fosgate components, however, are essential for any car stereo system that wants to add some serious low-end punch to its tunes on the road.
Item highlights

“Exceeds Expectations!” – ★★★★★
This enclosure seriously exceeds my expectations. first-hand PROPS to Sonic for making it so easily affordable. secondly, Rockford-Fosgate seriously outdid themselves by designing this enclosure. I am a serious Rockford-Fosgate fan, and have always used their products so I know what to expect out of them. I am using a Rockford Fosgate T500-1bdCP model amplifier pushing 814 “true power” watts at 1 Ohm. Using this amp allows P2 2×12 to be taken to its full potential and let me tell you first hand it Rattles my brain and my windows, and I see people turning their heads from a block away! No damage was done while in shipping, quick and easy to order online.
