[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 7755139, member: 611804"] say you have a 12 inch sub and u get a 12 inch radiator with equal xmax and then you get a 15inch radiator with 3/4 xmax is the sound going to be different of they are both tuned to say 34hz? quick answer is no the passive radiator is going to displace the exact same amout of air as the sub driving it. the reason people recommend larger radiators is because they dont have to excurt as much to equal the same displacement as the sub driving it and generally lower x-max radiators are cheaper you would tune a radiator just like a port but instead of adding port length u add weight [/QUOTE]
