[QUOTE="mcsoul, post: 5417539, member: 588440"] Does the passive radiator need to "unload" into the cabin? In other words, lets say I had 2 or three Boston g5's running sealed and walled off in a trunk car. The g5's obviously unload directly into the cabin, but are sealed off from the rear of the enclosure. For the sake of argument, each sub has it's own 1 cubic foot of air space. Now lets say I add the required compliment (2 or 3) passive radiators to the back of the sealed enclosure, remember, the back is walled off from the cabin. Now will this setup get the full benefit of the passive radiators, partial benefit or no benefit? This is more of a conceptual question to help me understand the mechanics of the passive radiator. I'm not really thinking of doing this. Also, for bonus points (jk), if you know; can the passive radiator unload into almost no airspace, say firing into a sealed off spare tire well with no escape of air and very little air space to load against outside of the box? -thanks [/QUOTE]
