Permanently sealing a vented subwoofer??


I have a budget subwoofer that I would like to tinker with if the results are positive. I read that to some degree, sealed subwoofers can produce much better in a music based system than a vented subwoofer. What would be the results if I permanently sealed the vent on a vented subwoofer? What are the consequences? Is this possible?

Well designed ported subs (most), and I am talking about true subs here...work as well as sealed IMO.

Ported bookshelf and mini speakers are a different story, most try to do a little to much, with very few well designed examples that I have listened to...thump, thump, thump...chug, chug, chug.

Small room and low volume is the best many can do before the port noise sets in.
