Yes I use my real name on the Internet.
I've been on the Internet since before the WWW was invented when Usenet Newsgroups were all the rage and I saw what happened when Steve Case sent a free AOL CD to anything with a pulse! Fly by night AoLamers!! Anon Aholes as I call them! I decided to lend to my credibility to my posts by always posting with my real name. And still do today!
Nobody give a flying ****. You are a loser.
Adding mass lowers resonance.. Increasing strength increases ridigity.
Adding mass increases rigidity.
No it doesn't.
mass loaded vinyl is an example of adding mass without adding rigidity.
The latter is what I'm hoping for. That's the way my last Alpine system was to me. Best quality car audio system I ever had! That's why I went with Alpine equipment again! I used Pioneer and Clarion in my teens/20's, then I had a very reputable (now out of business) install place here in STL do my 1994 Dodge Caravan "Baby" with an all Alpine system, head unit, power amp and 4 6x9 speakers. Now I've got a 12" Alpine subwoofer and four 6x9s and two 5.25 rounds, 100W per and 500W RMS into the subwoofer. I think it's gonna rock!
This just shows you are an ignorant noob with zero experience in audio trying to talk sh*t. Anyone with any kind of basic setup either home theatre or car audio has tried a big driver in a small box and found that there's zero bass reproduction while inside a bigger box, there is much more bass reproduction.
Alpine recommends about a half a cu/ft cabinet for the 12" slim line subwoofer but the cabinet I'm having built is 18"x18"x9" outside with 3/4 in walls so it's larger than 0.5 ct\ft! I figure larger volume sealed subwoofer cabinet would be a good thing.
0.1 cubic foot sealed enclosure? What? Where? You mean the Boom Mats? Hardly sealed, there's a hole in the back where the wire comes in! And to allow speaker cone excursion, I believe.You can also see from a simple enclosure modeling software that based on a driver's T/S Parameters, that low end reproduction is much higher in a bigger airspace vs a smaller airspace.
For Ex: This 12 inch sub in a 1 cubic feet box vs a 3 cubic feet box, same port tuning but drastically different frequency response. Its the same thing as shoving a 6x9 in whats basically a 0.1 cubic feet sealed enclosure vs the whole door cavity which is about a cubic feet or more of airspace. Makes the difference from your speaker sounding like the tin man vs a full bodied driver capable of playing every drum kick that you can feel in your chest.
