ported boxes require more air space then sealed so dont even try it or it'll sound like ***. not sure if it'll burn the VC up but i wouldnt even attempt it.

I agree with Optikal. A ported or vented system always require MORE airspace then a standard sealed box. If your thinking of porting a box, just make sure its still within the factory reccomended specs for the sub you are using.
