[QUOTE="Fred Campbell, post: 132117, member: 6035"] Re: Sealed vs. Ported Subwoofer Enclosures in Pro Audio All comments welcome (within reason :)~:-)~:smile: ). I didn't intend to say it was an either or situation. In fact I wasn't suggesting anything more asking. It just seems that most info I read that people recommend the largest cabinet possible to extend the low end response, assuming it is suitable for the drive unit parameters of course. The method linked suggests ignoring that and concentrate on maximum output and then eq flat. I’m just curious why this method is not more widely recommended or discussed if it is any good. Obviously a drive unit that can go low, flat and not run out of excursion is good, but they seem to have the down side of being expensive, not very efficient or both. There are a number of threads on the topic over at Speakerplans, but some get acrimonious so I am reluctant to link to them. It also confirms that at least some people think there is no merit to this design method. [/QUOTE]
