Speaker opinions...

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

Ports are okay if tuned properly, if they are too small for the application
they will whistle... While a ported enclosure will give you more bass at a
given frequency, it will produce less bass below that frequency compared to
a sealed enclosure. There fore a sealed enclosure gives a lower responce,
and a tighter note IMO, sealed enclosures must be designed properly as well.
How is your sub set up now? I just remembered you mentioned something about
a tube? If not setup properly i.e. with internal baffeling i'd hazzard to
say some of the crappy bass is related to distortion casused by standing
waves developed in the tube ( the reflection of one wave hits the driver out
of phase or at some point along the cycle and fights with the driver)
causing all sorts of bad things, i.e. cone distortion, back emf, etc...

Ah, ok. I knew that caps did one thing, and something else did another.
Couldn't remember which was which though. Either way, I guess it's more of
jsut tuning the output on the amp and sealing up the tube eh? It's ported,
but I've always liked sealed enclosures anyway. Time to seal it up maybe?

That's true. The caps cut out bass. The higher the capacitance mfd, the
lower
the pass. I always set them up on my frnt speakers. I use 47 mfd which has
about
a 1000 hz pass IIRC.
