If you're building your first system, I'd recommend a sealed enclosure. If you use a bandpass enclosure, it should be designed specifically for your speakers. These enclosures will work well with something like rap music but generally won't sound good with other types of music. This means that they are built to produce a large peak at some frequency near 60hz. They are designed to impress you in the stores. If you made the enclosure as small as the sealed enclosure but ported it to gain the low frequency response, the output would deviate from the desired flat response.Ī bandpass enclosure can sound good and give you a flat response but most of the generic bandpass enclosures are not designed for a flat response. If space is limited, this may be your best choice.Ī ported enclosure will generally have a better low frequency extension for a given response shape (alignment) but would require a larger enclosure. You can't have both.Ī sealed enclosure will be the smallest (for a given response shape) and will have good low frequency extension but may not have the best low frequency extension. You can build a bandpass enclosure to produce a tall peak or a wider flatter response. If you had a bucket of sand, you could pile it high or spread it out over a wider area. It's also a bit of a myth that bandpass enclosures make woofers produce far more output than other enclosures.
A good enclosure works with the speaker to allow it to produce its maximum output. A poorly designed enclosure essentially works against the speaker to prevent it from producing its maximum output. The best an enclosure can do is to allow the woofer to produce what it's capable of producing. Some people believe that a certain type of enclosure can magically increase the output of a woofer. When laying out a system, you need to decide what type of enclosure to use. When a manufacturer recommends a particular enclosure, you should ask yourself (or, better yet, the manufacturer) what the enclosure is optimized for. To build a system that had a perfectly flat frequency response (generally desired by audiophiles), you'll have to take the vehicle's transfer function into account (this will be discussed later). To get a flatter response, you could increase the size of the enclosure but the overall response wouldn't be perfectly flat. If you listen to all types of music, you'd likely want an enclosure that would give a flatter response. If you listen to those types of music, this system may perform satisfactorily.
This will give you good results for rap or other bass heavy music. Many manufacturers recommend an enclosure that's going to give you a peak like we mentioned earlier. You could design a system that would produce the desired SPL at all frequencies but it would require significantly more power and speakers than the aforementioned system with the narrow peak. It would, however, leave you with a system that would have less than perfect frequency response and marginal performance at the low frequency end of the spectrum. This would allow you to generate the desired SPL and properly impress your friends. If you want a system to produce a lot of SPL (but have limited power or number of speakers), you'll probably have to concentrate a lot of the acoustic energy within a small band of frequencies. Many people don't realize that, unless you have virtually unlimited resources, there are going to be trade offs when designing a system. It will attempt to help you get what you want from your audio system and your subwoofer in particular. This page will touch on a few new topics (all of which are covered in detail on upcoming pages).

The fix for now is to download the Ruffle extension for your browser. This means that no modern browser will display any of these demos, by default. The powers that be have deemed that the Flash content on web pages is too risky to be used by the general internet user and soon, ALL of the support for it will be eliminated (most Flash access was eliminated 1-1-2021). An important note about the Flash demos/graphics on this site.
