[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8819676, member: 587645"] I completely agree that the theory says .707qts is ideal. In my experience, the QTS/Fs relationship largely affects how the sub sounds/plays so I feel it should be used as one more "tuning" aid. My 18's have a QTS of .245 and an Fs of 26.5. They will happily play up into the midbass range(500hz eaisely) and it's crazy loud. They will happily play down in the 20's as well, but they need more power to do it. I have them EQed pretty hard in the 45-60hz range to tame them. They aren't playing "flat". I don't understand the science or whatever behind it, but the last 3 subs I've really liked IB were all low Fs Lowish Qts subs. That may have something to do with my trunk volume being 16 cubic feet(true infinite baffle is minimum 10x the Vas volume.) or it may just be my taste. MMake a baffle and throw different subs into it. It's pretty awesome being able to swap subs and change how your whole substage sounds/responds. Matt [/QUOTE]
