[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8675980, member: 611804"] This isnt totally correct. While a sealed box isnt typically tunable on the fly like some ported designs. They can be tuned much the same way a ported box can be. Typically tuning a sealed box only requires adjusting the air space of the enclosure. The smaller the box the higher the air spring effect and thus the higher the peak frequency. A larger box is just the opposite. It provides less air sping effect resulting in a lower peak frequency. This box adjustment has a similar effect on power handling. Larger boxes will typically be lower on the power handling due to more of the cone control relying on the subs suspension up until the enclosure is so large it actually acts like an infinite baffle design. On smaller enclosures you typically wont see power handling issues until you exceed the thermal capabilities of the coil and motor design, since the subs suspension is supplemented by the air spring effect [/QUOTE]
