Dukks an ethug, bully... lmao Matt wasn't even on the forum for 2 weeks. lol

 

^ I don't think he was on for 24hours. Maybe just...

Anyway - NEXT MYTH!!

 

I have to say his posts did make for some interesting reading material. lol

 

And after you had something handy to wipe with as well.

Who's got the next myth?

 

how about a favourite; sealed enclosures produce better bass than ported ones.

 

Oh that IS a good one. Of course I disagree. I believe that no single enclosure type is superior to any other in all situations for all drivers.

I also believe that vented boxes kick total ***

 

And I am oh so fond of sealed for many car audio applications, but it is harder to dick up

 

Life is full of trade-offs. As a general rule: Sealed can give you tighter, more controlled bass in lower frequencies, but need lots of power to do it. Ported are way more efficient but because it's "tuned" to a specific frequency, it's limited to it's scope.

 

Vented = more output in the range you can actually hear. Less excursion in that same range too. That can equal more power handling and potentially less mechanical distortion.
