[QUOTE="GrnEydDvl, post: 4540871, member: 568270"] Right. The speaker companies have the resources and a very compelling reason ($ales) to thoroughly test their products in a very large variety of enclosures and environments. Logic would dictate that if we as individuals wanted to ensure a higher level of performance, we would do the same thing - build a large number of boxes, and use the one we prefer for whatever reason. Or take the easier route and have faith, as you put it, in the manufacturers recommended enclosure or what has worked well for someone we know. We can, of course, build as many boxes as we have desire, money, and time to dedicate. SPL competitors do just that and for good reason. Me? I don't want to build 20 boxes to find out which one peaks one tenth of a dB higher, I just want a well performing system attained in a reasonable amount of time and resources. My point/question was - aren't simple ported boxes, subwoofers, and how these two interact well understood by now? I guess they aren't, or at least not in a way we can apply across every subwooofer and come up with a universal equation. Your point is well taken, though. I already have my answer. Go on faith or experiment until I decide enough is enough. [/QUOTE]
