High EBP.... what if you decide to put it in a sealed enclosure

[vehementSPL 10+ year member]

As it says. I know typically the higher the EBP the more it leans towards ported and reversed for lower. What if you take a sub with an EBP of 100ish and put it in a sealed box? what would it hurt? how would it sound? etc. give me detailed descriptions of possible. and same for a sub of maybe 30ebp in a ported box

It depends on the alignment chosen for both situations.

I have heard plenty of subs sealed that had high EBPs and most of them had very little low end and a more dry and aggressive sound to them.

Putting a low EBP sub in a ported enclosure usually ends in a sloppy sounding sub with sub par transient response.

Hmmm now what about putting it in a 4th order ... A high EBP. winisd says 4th orders are meant for low EBP subs. but 4th order does have a ported chamber... thoughts?

6th order

Also will a high EBP sub be less efficient in a sealed box vs a low EBP sub in a sealed box..... Or does EBP have very little to do with this

Down low it will be.

Down low it will be.

huh? you mean low EBP would be more efficient in same box?

Efficiency is frequency related. If you don't understand what that means, oh well.

Ok. Just wasn't sure the point in the EBP scale. honestly this is something I never learned. i mean I always knew high was ported low was sealed and inbetween was either.. But never knew the specifics behind it
