Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Bad design. Only advantage was downsizing enclosure

I once did some measurements of a sealed isobaric system vs a twice-the-volume sealed box system, same woofer(s) in both. Isobaric theory predicts they'd have identical response. The measured performance was very different; the isobaric system behaved as if the Qtc was about 1.4 times higher than that of the sealed box system.

I have no explanation for this, but if my observations are correct then the theory is not yet mature.

p.s. - is your two cubic foot sub too big for your car, or is your car too small for your sub??
