[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 3940428, member: 549629"] I do notice you declined to tell us why your box guy thought mixing enclosure types was a positive thing. All you have said is that you trust in his abilities. He should be able to give a plausible answer to the question. He must have had some reason, right? I know you are taking this as all negative, and sadly for some here thats all it is to them. But alot of this is people in the hobby, looking out for other enthusiasts in the same hobby. Your shop was going to build this guy a poor design, that's simple truth. You seem friendly to advice, please allow me to give you some. Buy a book called Loudspeaker Design Cookbook, by Vance Dickason. You dont have to learn everything in it, but you own an audio shop... imo its worth a few nights in bed reading it to learn some fundamentals of designing a speaker system. Its considered a valued reference book in the audio field, and honestly... it wont take long looking through it to find the fundamental flaws in your box guy's sealed/ported attempt. In learning even just the basics, you will be able to know when 'your guy' is BS'ing you, like he is with this sealed/ported nonsense. A little kowledge could go a long way towards improving you, and your business. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
