Ported sub box or sealed?!

[beeza]

kidding aren't you? can you scientifically prove that theory?

No I'm not kidding.
As for 'Scientifically proving my theory',What do U want...a printout of a speedsheet with lots of numbers and equations all over it?

In a drumkit the drummer likes to fill the bass drum up with pillows/towels/foam to get a solider sound.Same thing.

I hope that's enough.We could get into that whole physics of it all if you like

[Limbo]

it depends on the SUb itself
Some subs are designed to work with a ported box whilst others work better with a sealed box. Check the manufacturer's recommendation and it will tell you the optimal size and type of box you need

Agreed well known fact.


The kit bass drum may be more heavily muffled than the classical bass drum, sometimes through the use of a pillow or a blanket against the batter head to produce a shorter "thud."

Drummers also place foam, pillows, or blankets inside the bass drum to reduce overtones.[3]

Yeah! A very common ghetto way to 'tune' ya bass

it's as ghetto as using Dynamatt (tune your whole car) to make a car sound system sound better lol

That stuff would be sosick!

You can use polyfill to fill out the sub box... not glue or foam stuffs... but then you can also make the sub bigger, so you dont need to put polyfill fill it.

[beeza]

Oh sweet.So that would be better than foam,U think?

[euro_tr4sh]

Just so you know, i work at one of perths leading car audio stores, and putting polyfill, or dacron in the box is one of the biggest no no's ever for a plethora of reasons... its just a band aid for not building the box right

you can also use deflex pads with polyfills.

So you mean those high end home speakers bookshelf or floorstanders boxes that have polyfill inside are daft??

[euro_tr4sh]

i think you'll find that proper high end home gear (kef, B&O, genesis etc..) do not have poly fill in them, plus a sub and a floor standing mid woofer for home audio are very different drivers... a car woofer moves alot more air, and in the case of one with a vented pole you run a high risk of some fibres getting pulled in and melting on the hot voice coil.... in lamens terms, you'll f**k your woofer
