Does a sub box make a difference?
A subwoofer enclosure, or sub box, can help contain all the vibration from the drivers, so they don’t end up with mechanical damage. Having a correctly sized enclosure for your subwoofer can also provide a significant bass extension and reduce sound interference.
Does porting a sub box make it louder?
The secret to which type of bass you’ll get lies in the type of subwoofer box you use. If you prefer bass that’s “tight” and focused, go for a sealed box. If you want your bass to boom and you want maximum volume in your music, then you definitely want a ported box. Tighter, more accurate bass.
Is a ported sub box better than sealed?
Ported enclosures are typically used to get more output from the same power of an amplifier than a sealed enclosure because they are more efficient. They will also have more overall output than a sealed enclosure which means they can play louder overall. This gain in output comes at a small cost.

As the size of the enclosure increases, the mechanical limits of the woofer will be easier to reach. If the box is too small (by a reasonable amount) add power.
