Ez---Though the 825 has a shelved response and is not flat down to 40hz subjectively it has a very good sound and many fans. Bass is better with the 416 woofer (A7) than with the 515B (A5) though nothing and I mean nothing, does better upper bass and lower mids than a 515B in an 825. I've found that well recorded electric bass sounds very lifelike over 825s with 416s and I've played bass for years. But the 416 in a vented box is a safer bet, it's flatter. If you can't hear 416s in 825s and judge yourself the vented box is probably the way to go.
