No one is answering though?

The reason I will be porting my doors is for deeper louder bass up front without a front sub!

I have heard many systems with enclosure's in their doors and only maybe 2-3 being vented. One of which has been Dave's car. Dave, no offence but I got more influence from the sub on the dash than I did from the vented midbass in the doors. I did however find the tonal accuracy of the mid very good. Not sure if that was the enclosure, the processing or the design of the speaker itself. I think the same effect can be had by making a proper sealed enclosure in the door.

The whole debate on this depends on the speaker itself and not its enclosure. If you have a speaker that is not designed to be in a vented enclosure (which 90% of midbass's are not) then it will sound like poo. On the other hand, if you have a driver that is designed for a vented enclosure (which many home audio speakers are designed) then it will sound terrific. USe the speaker for its intended purpose and you should be able to achieve optimal sound from it.

fat, why do you think that there was more influence from the dash woofer? and where does the 90% figure come from? and are you saying that sealing the door and venting will yield the same effect? questions questions

defro13, what parameters you need from me for the enclosure?

When I listened, I got more of a dominating presence from the up front woofer than I did the midbass in the doors. Like I said, the mids were pretty tonally accurate, but it was hard to tell if that was from the enclosure alone.

And if you take a look at the mids on the market right now, very few of them will play well with a vented enclosure. Most are designed for IB or sealed.

It's no 15 min task sealing up a door, or enclosure in a door. At least not in any vehicle I've ever touched.
How can you accuse Dave of overprocessing. The beauty of F1 is the quality is so high you need less processing to make it sound right.

Defro might have missed you question...

I too would like to try to understand the logic. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] http://www.acurazine.com/forums/imag...es/whistle.gif

dwvw was sent a pm concerning the logic behind it

So post it here. http://www.acurazine.com/forums/imag...lies/shrug.gif


You seemed so quick to discredit my opinion but you wont post your reasoning for Venting a door.


Just looking for a little education on the matter, but if you cant reason then it must be [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img]
