I’ve got friends, the husband brought to the marriage a DIY cylinder sub that’s about 2 feet dia and 4 ft tall! It’s a monstrous black ... thing... in the basement.
The wife is not a fan.
They make both in part to accommodate different aesthetics and wallets. The non-ported subs are smaller and less expensive.
If room and budget permit, buy the ported. Then run it 13-280 Hz +/- 3 dB (extended mode – 2 ports open).
