[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1976100, member: 565696"] Just a quick question. It's widely known on this forum that a bass reflex enclosure can double acoustical power from a subwoofer at it's peak, but i have to wonder if that's a pretty vague generalization.... Would the benefit from running a high-excursion subwoofer in a ported box be less drastic than the benefit of running a low excursion speaker (such as an L7) in a ported box? Reason i ask, is that subs move quite a bit more in a sealed box, and was wondering if a subwoofer that has TONS of excursion (a stroker is my primary interest) or a W7 would perform closer to the ported box even in a sealed box? I guess i'm asking, is the statement excursion Say a Stroker only moves 11mm in a ported box at it's peak frequency, but in a sealed box moves 30+, wouldn't output be pretty similar? I know i'm wrong, but i just hoped someone could explain WHY i'm wrong, i don't fully understand. Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
