[QUOTE="zane, post: 1441, member: 540617"] Not quite, but gettting there..... With 300 watts, a ported enclosure would certainly produce more movement in a particular sub than could be achieved by a sealed enclosure. That is why ported enclosures are more efficient. With more power, obviously both enclosures will provide a little more cone movement of the sub, however, as I have pointed out numerous times, and as you also observed, with the increased resistance in the sealed enclosure- the cone still will not move as far as it would in a sealed enclosure. In Example: No variables other than enclosure and power. A sub in a ported enclosure with 300 watts going to it. To achieve the same amount of xmax the ported enclosure has with the 300 watts would require approximately 600 watts of power to the same woofer in a sealed enclosure. (This is a general example- actual power and difference is contingent upon the woofers T/S parameters.) Once again- refer to my previous post about the physics involved here. If your woofer is moving more in a sealed enclosure, I would highly suggest you take a look at the wiring of the sub, likely it is out of phase. Also, the enclosure size comes into question- are you sure it is correct for your particular woofer? Are you sure that it is completely sealed. With it in the ported enclosure- are you sure that port length and diameter are right? This area of a ported enclosure is critical as the port plays a large role in determining output frequency. Too large or small of a port could cause undesired operation and actually be working against the posative output. Food For thought..... Take it easy, -zane [ 12-11-2001: Message edited by: zane ] [/QUOTE]
