Sealed vs. Ported Speakers

Just curious is a acoustic suspended speaker the same as acoutic vented?

Not to sure but I think there have been some speakers that use a closed mid/high cabinet and a vented (sub)woofer.

Mordante- No they are not.

The total design is what maters not if its ported or not.

IME/IMO one of the advantages of a ported design is that they are often easier to drive and are less affected by box coloration.

Sealed enclosures have to be a lot more dead to deal with the compression forces inside the box.

BTW, passive driver systems are a form of ported enclosure.
