------- I understand that a ported box can reproduce (with the sub) a multiple range of frequencies-- that was not my point...Umm I don't know where you heard that a ported box only boosts at one frequency but it's wrong.
A ported box plays a range of frequencies,the loudest ones being above you r boxes tuning frequency and then they peak off so many Hz above the boxes tuning freq.
Also bandpasses can be made to boost output in a wide range of frequencies,not just one.
*Edit* To the original thread starter...
The MTX 9500 series woofer is an SPL subwoofer and I have heard that their SQ is almost non existent.
W6's are nice
I was thinking of picking up one or two RF T215's
How bout DD 3515's (been thnkin bout those too)
I'm not going to disregard your opinion because you are a women....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifI completely understand this forum and its members are/is primarily more into sPl tha sQl and my opinions are probably regarded as ignorant because I am a woman AND I like accurate and solid reproduction that a/my sealed enclosure gives me.
I'm not a big fan of the term "SQL" anyway - it's a compromise. You're giving up SQ for SPL, how much you give up is up to your tastes.------- I understand that a ported box can reproduce (with the sub) a multiple range of frequencies-- that was not my point... in my experience a ported box is just too boomy because of the tuned frequency range it is designed to re-produce at maximum output. My Apologies to you sir, if my comments and opinions were mistaken.
I completely understand this forum and its members are/is primarily more into sPl tha sQl and my opinions are probably regarded as ignorant because I am a woman AND I like accurate and solid reproduction that a/my sealed enclosure gives me.
HOWEVER.... I am old enough and HAVE seen the childhood and pubescent growth of an amazing industry. MY OPINION on the matter was to simply state to this gentleman, looking for ideas, that I BELIEVE if SQL is his ultimate goal (and space saving) then a sealed bx would better serve him.
and yes... a sealed box may not hit the same spl, with the same power applications, to the same equipment, however...you will still have an amazing amount of bass in a properly designed enclosure/system.
thank you-- and good night! LOL! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
