[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 3942146, member: 549629"] Yes, I expected your fabricator would say something along the lines of 'it fills all frequencies'. I guess if I had been you, my follow-up question would have been: "then do all those other boxes you've built for our customers that are not sealed AND ported fail at filling all the required frequencies?" Do you see what Im getting at? The substage is required to play approximately 2 octaves. 20hz to 80hz, give or take a little. That's it, 2 measely octaves. And your box guy can't build a simple sealed or ported box that spans this entire frequency range? Yes, he can, and does. But he is now filling your head with nonsense. Seriously. Either the sealed OR the ported setup would fill the entire freq range, given the proper design. But marrying the two types in one system leads to erratic and unpredictable frequency response. Unpredictable frequency response is a recipe for poor performance, be it SQ or SPL. Maybe it always sounds good to your ears, and your customer's ears, because you dont know what you're missing....? I appreciate you taking my words as constructive. No offense is meant to you. Im actually trying to help you help your business. Its doing well now with your box guy's designs/attitude, great. But, does this not mean there is no room for improvement? Blunt moment... you need a new box guy. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
