[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 767620, member: 555320"] Hoffman's Iron Law: You can only have two of the following three: 1) Low frequency extension ("the lowest of the lows") 2) Small Box 3) Good efficiency Since we are limited to only having two of the three at any one time, you can see where the problems arise. You can have good low frequency extension and a small box, but it will require more power than the sub will likely be able to handle thermally. So, we can go with good LFE and good efficiency.......but it's going to require quite a large box to accomplish it. Yes If you had a good strong 20-30hz and poor response further up, it will sound very muddy, and you will likely be very unhappy with the overall sound of the bass. Honestly, IMO, you should try to go infinite baffle. [/QUOTE]
