@PoXFreak 5 лет назад

Same. Worked for Aavid back in the 80s and I was alone in my theories of using a longer port (or a port in general) to drop the tuning frequency below the FS of the driver in use. Built a Labyrinth enclosure for a single Phillips 6x9 driver with a FS of 51hz by folding a single 8.04ft port inside a tall enclosure (34" tall), ported to the rear. Final graph showed a peak at around 33hz with output matching that of the current benchmark 12" model in our lineup.

@Clint3571 4 года назад

Perfect. I have a Dayton Classic 15 in a 12ft enclosure, tuned to 18Hz with about 100w of power, and it shakes the entire house around 20Hz. I put the same sub in a 3.5ft sealed enclosure with about 400w and it does not physically shake you like the large ported box, but it has a lot more punch for quick effects like machinegun fire. If you have a lot of space but a tight budget, go ported. If you can spend the money on a nice sub and powerful amp, then go sealed. Just my opinion.

@scotttod6954 5 лет назад

Really enjoyed the video. I have seen quite a few audio dealers that sell the worst prefab boxes and send the customer out the door. I personally have only made my own enclosures and found sealed to be much easier to calculate size for the individual driver. When calculating ported enclosures I not only found a higher error to success ratio I was never truely happy with sound quality. I do enjoy building isobaric enclosures and enclosures with passive speakers because I find they tend to increase efficiency while still maintaining quality distortion free sound.

@kgtaillon27 5 лет назад

Years ago the speaker home setup was to have a sealed box with a low Q of about 5.7(large box). It's now hard to find a woofer with the right specs to go this route. I ran this setup a while back and now run vented. Most of the systems today run vented, lower F3 and play louder but I feel with room gain and the slower drop in decibel from the sealed box, they are about the same bass output.

@stephaneswiatlowski7698 Год назад

You are Right, I went from a ported to a sealed sub. It is corner loaded, and I don’t have the impression to miss anything from my ported sub. I even have flat response till 10Hz on the sealed one!

@_dave4460 4 года назад

i did live sound/recording for many years and in my home i have sealed enclosures - aka, acoustic suspension or infinate baffle. i’m using a pair i designed; the cabinets are to math for internal volume/diameter of loudspeaker and the woofers were custom built to my specs and cabs. the design is 8 inch woofers with hand picked silk dome tweeters. butyl edges allow for quick, clean excursion and damping is provided by the edge, spider and of course amplifiers and the highly sealed enclosures. the voice coils are “edge wound” with square wire to be more compact and hold more power, more predicatble tighter lines of flux and to dissipate heat faster. they sound great and i have other ported cabs like cerwin, jbl and klipsch to compare sound. infinate baffles are well worth the investment. i use solid state amps (kenwood model 11, kr-6600 and crown ce - 1000 and ce-2000s) and if you have precision solid state or tube amps get ready to hear things in recordings you’ve never heard before. build your own x-overs, aka frequency division networks... peaceout_dave

@0525ohhwell 3 года назад

I remember when I worked at Circuit City, I just wanted a simple single 12" sub and the employee discount was pretty much %50 in car audio. I grabed an MTX Blue Thunder Legend 12" and the specs said 1 Cubic foot for sealed so I grabbed a simple 1 cubic ft sealed enclosure. My god, you would have thought I took a dump right on the floor. "Oh no, you need a bandpass box", "you won't get enough bass" etc. I stuck with the sealed and threw a simple 250 Watt RMS amp and a crossover on it and placed the box about 2.5 feet from the back hatch in my 280xz. That damn thing was too much bass in that car. All they could talk about the next day was how much output it had in a hatchback. I don't think they really knew much about acoustics.

Also, what are your thoughts on speakers with "variable q"? I have some older kappa perfect 10s that come with two different inserts for the pole piece so that you can use the sub in different enclosures, I've tried it in a small sealed box with the mid-q insert and it had insane low end extension but oddly lacked upper bass response. I found another set and mounted them infinite baffle with no insert, in the same vehicle, and they play everything. How would having a larger pole piece insert affect the woofer if it is used in a larger than recommended enclosure?

@DirtySouthFlorida3 4 года назад

Hey man u should do a video about subwoofer sound quality.. and why some subs have punch others dont. Low q vs middle q subs. Shorting rings and underhung subs. And suspension overstroke ..stuff like that

@usbtnt 5 лет назад

for me by the time power compression and the distortion that comes with it kicks in, your better better off with a low tuned ported tuned just slightly below fs (like 20hz for a 25hz fs) this pushes the sound of the port into a faster slope thus eliminating it earlier, also by the time you hit 40 hz your out of the group delay region and we generally cant hear it below that mark. you also avoid the added delay of an eq that your sealed needs.

@basspig 5 лет назад

I like the large and low tuned design myself and found over many years have building and experimenting that that works the best. I tuning frequency of 8 Hertz works out well for handling all the frequencies above 10 Hertz with a minimal group delay.

1:54 This lends to an interpretation of the source material. If you've ever listened to a track at 0db gain in the bass region (which I know you have), it can be very unrewarding. At this point we become the mixer, and decide where the bass should be (as well as the other Hz if you have the ability). I feel like +6db bass is not out of character for the original intention of the song in many circumstances.

@SpeakerBuilder 5 лет назад

One matter you did not cover, that I would love to hear your take on. All bass drivers entail certain physical and electrical properties that make them a good fit for either a sealed or a vented alignment. Regarding vented alignments, I find that the size of the vented box may vary greatly. For example, given two 12 inch bass drivers for vented enclosures, one may call for a very large box volume whereas the other may call for a much smaller box volume. Assuming the two bass drivers are of equal quality, I have found the listening experience of these two bass driver systems to be radically different, the small box version sounding very stuffed and muted, and the large box version sounding very full, airy, and more natural (like real bass instruments). Unfortunately, manufacturers of subwoofers steer clear of large vented alignment systems since the very large boxes would not sell with the general buying public. So all that anyone sees is small box systems, either sealed or vented. I find the large vented alignment systems (and I have built over a dozen of them) are very pleasing, whereas the factory sub woofers always disappoint by comparison. Something for folks to think about.

Without experience or expert knowledge i have an feeling for what you're saying . a large ported box definitely sounds better. I think its industry jargon used for selling points. Like most experts they impose their knowledge over the persons listening reality.

@SpeakerBuilder 5 лет назад

On the other hand, if most people will not accept a pair of very large boxes (2-3 cubic feet each) in their listening space, then I guess it doesn't really matter how much better they sound vs small box systems. I actually feel the same way about extremely expensive electronic components. The amp or CD transport or DAC or tube pre costing thousands each may all sound better than my @ $500 a piece components, but since I am unwilling to spend that kind of money on my components, then it doesn't really matter if they sound better.

It evening I am new to your channel and after watching just three videos I’ve subscribed and believe you’re one of the most knowledgeable people I have encountered with regard to enclosures I wonder if you would be willing to help me design an enclosure for two Skar audio ZVX 18” V2 subs to be inside of a 2001 Ford F3 50. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

@koda7225 5 лет назад

Ok, I have a question. Does port location in relation to the driver(s) in the enclosure have an effect on the output or sound quality of an enclosure (possibly depending on the environment the enclosure is used in? (Ie van, car, living room)

@annonomis9299 5 лет назад

paul Leys I wonder this too! I have my sub mounted on right side of box and port coming out left side right next to it coming out along side parallel to sub. I wonder if i could increase my decibels by moving the port or making a better box

@wadesmith9483 5 лет назад

I too wrestled with this. Here’s what research/trial and error brought to light: Short answer: no, not really. As long as basic spacing rules are observed the differences are minuscule. Not worth it. May change a lil but it’s like when u think ur car runs better or drives smoother when all u did was wash it. It’s comparable to rounding off all edges inside box for better “flow” a diff? Yea. That much? No. Worth tearing a box apart to round said edges? No. But while building the box sure def do all that. It all helps. The devil is in the details.

I swear I learn more from your videos then from years of reading forums and talking to fellow audio hobbyists 😁 I really regret not ordering a design from you when you offered that service... Living in Europe makes it way to expensive to enjoy a system designed by a true audio engineer (you)!!!

Or you could go with sealed with a passive radiator. Offers more tuning options and eliminates possible chuffing noise from ports.

@JJ_ExMachina 5 лет назад

Every time I have been "wowed" by a home system, the Sub was running a passive radiator. SO I have come to rely on them for my own stuff, far easier to "tune" and to my ears, far better sounding...

@@skyoptics ... ALL ports create secondary wind noise... Unless they are so over sized, that you might as well be holding the woofer in your hand, for all the good the box is doing.

@delonge5000 4 года назад

Hi Peter! I have a 12" sub driver but it's a chinese no name model, thus it doesn't have T/S parameters. My question: is there some sort of estimated ratio between the volume of the enclosure (both sealed and ported haven't decided) and the driver diameter? or is it worth the hassle to measure them? Thank you in advance!

I have a rockford fosgate p3 10" sub running off a rockford 500w prime 1 channel d class amp... both bought on ebay or amazon years ago. as well as a prefab slotted box. i was wondering what the best box style and set-up would most likely be for my setup in a 4 door pickup...

is it an overkill to have a bass reflex enclosure for a $30 co-axial pair of speakers? I want to experiment with that but little guidance would be super-helpful. Also, do most car door speakers have common T/S parameters?

@Filmmakingness 4 года назад

Sealed subs require more power and more excursion to reach the same spl levels as their ported counterparts. More power + more excursion = decreased linearity and so more distortion. The only advantage to sealed subs are lower extension (think 10hz below) and size. In a low tuned ported cab the driver will sound the same above 30hz (music region) than its sealed alternative!

@johnnycorn7225 3 года назад

Okay serious question I have space in my Honda Civic to run two 12s ported or 312 sealed the 212s will be on 2000 Watts while the 312 will be on 3000 Watts? I'm thinking the 212s ported will have more output but the 312 sealed with more power will have similar output maybe a little less but more punch and sound quality. Opinions?

@dunnbizzy79 2 года назад

If my sealed enclosure is .5 volume but my driver called for minimum .8 volume is their a setting I can adjust to make it work? I'm thinking lowering the dB output?
