Do subs hit harder in a ported box?

The Kicker speakers are less expensive, but the JL speakers sound better. 8″ speakers have more surface area and usually handle more power than 6.5″ speakers. The larger cone area and higher power handling mean that the 8″ speakers play louder and give you more mid-bass response than a 6.5″.
