[QUOTE="Moble Enclosurs, post: 7519163, member: 634917"] Ok. The first thing I noticed is that the compression chamber to port volume ratio is pretty good. The tuning may be a bit lower than 34Hz, but this is based on a rough 2 cubic ft volume as mentioned. There is a decent spl peak at resonance and denotes that the driver is meant for spl. One of the more important factors that I take a look at is the efficiency. This drives the output and safe operation of the system. With your parameters of that enclosure, the efficiency is no more than a prefab design, but fortunately even though there is a high spl peak, the efficiency is much smoother than the response...which means quite a bit of output can be achieved from this driver.
