RE: Bass reflex vs acoustic suspension vs inf. baffle

A closed box inherently will exhibit less overhang than a reflex box. That's inherent in the physics of the design. A reflex can be quite good properly designed but not as good. There is no way a reflex speaker can be done to have as little bass overhang as a closed box.

Reflex was hard to design before computers but with a good piece of software and a knowledgeable designer it's not a big deal any more. I've seen it done. I've seen a whole reflex speaker done in half a day with only fine tuning (personal preference) left to do after computer design.

I have woofer boxes that were designed to be used both ways that were well designed by a very good designer and it's obvious that while the reflex design is among the best the closed box is tighter.
