Hello All, im asking this question for Ported Speaker enclosures.
Lets say...... im building a 6" BS (bass reflex)
I end up making the box bigger to get as much low end extension as possible.
But branded 6" BS are very compact.
Same case with a Diy 12" subs.
We end up making a large boxes.
But branded 12" subs are very compact.
Lets forget about some high end R&D companies do, and stick to basic design fundamentals.
The question is, what driver parameters demand a bigger box?
Do the branded companies compromise on the low end extension and design small enclosures?
Or is there any trick that is totally different?
Do the companies select drivers with low Vas and low Qts to come up with compact enclosures?
(Low Qts gives higher F3, and that's a disadvantage.
(As far as I know, subject to correction)
Can you throw some light on this please ....
Thanks & Regards,
Naveen
