in the realm of context (which you avoided), 1.5dB isn't huge. Even the OP seemed to acknowledge that it wasn't a huge audible difference and I backed that up.
With numbers only, that high up, every little bit counts, I agree. But audibly, 1.5dB is nowhere near huge.
until you add so much deadener that the Fo falls right in to the bandpass of the speaker still... so, what's adding deadener really do? I'm not saying it shouldn't be used... I'm saying one should think about what they're doing with it. Really, bracing is better in some regards than deadening...
did you re-adjust the gains at the amp?...
Also, you said 'HUGE' differences. 1.5dB isn't really huge. That's not even half power... much less half as loud (10dB). I'm not saying you're crazy... obviously you've done due diligence to see if the data is right (which I appreciate), but it...
I'm not so sure I'd say they're the same. Though, I acknowledge the price differential is pretty daunting and I'd like to see that price justified.

yea, because designing rockets for the DoD isn't doing something.
Sorry you missed out on the badass stuff. Have fun designing archways, George (Kastanza). :p
Oh, and why was this thread from 2002 bumped to begin with?
