I agree about the technical/aethetic considerations of pro-audio folks/musicians...and how they both contrast with Hi-Fi DIY and audiophile opinion.

The Wizard 12" is the loudest and brightest of the Eminence speakers, and one of the few with a reasonably low Q, so it won't sound TOO boomy in a sealed box. But it will sound more bassy sealed and won't have that nice, delayed clanginess you get from the open box. I'm hoping the thickness will be complimented by the high end forwardness. But I'm definitely going to put the back on with hinges, so it can be lowered.

With a Q of 0.7, the sealed F3 is still a surprisingly high 130Hz, almost an octave above the low 'E' string. Any higher Q/smaller sealed box and I think it would sound too chunky.

If I was going to make a 4x12, I would probably pick the less expensive Legends.
