I wish i could take what you just said and use it im certainly not a slow or stupid person but man something about the whole box and tuning and PORTS and box rise for ohm load and all that is so hard for me to grasp and make sense of ive read a ton and wind up with more questions than answers :/
More questions lead to more answers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif so that can be a good thing. The thing about designing is it involves more than just tuning, xmax, volume, power, etc. It is acoustical, physics, psychoacoustics, environmental, etc. Everything is a factor really. So, learning it quick and learning it proper are complete opposites, just for a thought. Expect it to take years to get a great idea on what goes on with box design and months to get a good idea of the generalization of physical to audible changes and effect without the in depth knowledge of "why", and only understanding the "what". This is what most designers rely on. They know that a bigger port can cause higher tuning and potential for higher output, but they only tend to focus on the what, which means they know to make the port smaller to lower tuning and efficiency and don't realize that it is not always a parallel difference to the physical changes that occur from what you actually hear or experience audibly. So, focus needs to be on those types of changes rather than just making it happen and not knowing why, just knowing it does. This can cause problems, some that I have seen from other designers in the past, that break up their reputation a bit.
So, be fully involved in the changes that happen and understand why, when you do start to get it, and it will be much easier to account for different design style layouts and how to make them better in all aspects of the design.
