[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 7667653, member: 573988"] Yeah that's true, though for the purposes of determining ideal setups, considering that an enclosure is basically a resonance chamber. Doesn't that mean that a more massive (larger surface area) cone is always more inclined to play lower frequencies. In other words, a box can shift the resonance frequency to equalize response, but this creates a source of inefficiency. Let me explain my logic here. The way I see it, with a box a and speaker you are basically averaging 2 resonances. In free air, there is only one. So lets say the resonance of the sub is 40Hz, and the box 50Hz the 2 together would produce peak at 45Hz. But because this isn't the sub's resonance, the possible volume would be higher if the box + sub resonance matched the Sub resonance. True? [/QUOTE]
