Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

well told

While I prefer a big sealed box (something like 30 square foot is close enough to being infinite for smaller drivers) it is not a black or white choice.

A normal size bassreflex system can i.e. be tuned to 35-41 Hertz and thereby reduce the cone movement a lot. This will reduce distortion compared to a same size sealed box.

Secondly the port does give a more open sound in many systems.

I normally design loudspeakers including a foam plug, so that the owner can convert the bass reflex box to a sealed box.

Converting a sealed box to a bass reflex would require drilling holes by the owner:-)

Merry Christmas !
