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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm so glad I found your channel! I've also been in the market for buying a subwoofer. I make music at home and I use Neumann KH 120 "Studio monitors" But their low end doesn't even come close. I think they only go down to about 55hz or so. If I were to buy the "Matched" Subwoofer Neumann provides, the KH 805 - It's $2000 Canadian dollars... That's a boat load of money just for a sub. Worthy, long term investment? Maybe... I think it goes from 18hz-300hz with 200W amp. This is the biggest reason I'm looking into building my own. There's gotta be a something that comes at least close to this performance for a better price. I've gone down the "Rabbit hole" Of learning about subwoofers lately and this channel is an absolute blessing. Time to binge watch and write some notes! THANK YOU!! :D

@usbtnt 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

And that’s why one should be careful and watch that clipping indicator when listening to regular music (more specifically rap with the amount of distortion, +6db peaks, tryna play 2 frequencies at once to name a few…

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!

I have a driver that was in a ported car-audio box and i'm trying (because i want to) to build a closed box for a home theater (because i prefere the responsiveness you talked about). What Parameter do i need to check to make sure the driver is compatible for a closed box? Thank you or anyone for the awnser.

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

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...

Hey man. What enclosure would you recommend for live band performance where there is still atleast some power coming from the sub? The setting is mainly inside a small to medium sized hall.
