Re: Sealed vs. Ported Subwoofer Enclosures in Pro AudioHey Helge,I started a new thread with this post because I think it's both an interesting question and a departure from the thread it was in.Off the top of my head, I imagine it has a lot to do with the marketplace. We can already make it to 30Hz with an 18", and achieve great sound quality and output. A sealed box would offer a slower rolloff and better excursion control, but below 30Hz where more or less it isn't needed. Engineers also expect to hear the bump in output at the bottom of the sub's range, subwoofers with a lower Q sound have more or less gone out of style.Maybe some folks who actually know something about enclosures, unlike me, will have more to say.
