No matter how many times it's told, there are always nonbelievers; assuming because you have a hole in an enclosure, it is ported, yes your enclosure has a hole in it but it is not a properly vented box, what you have is a leaky sealed box, and sadly it lacks the good things gained when you properly port a enclosure. Here is a technical understanding: http://www.bodziosoftware.com.au/PORTS.pdf

Letting it break in won't make it anymore abuse tolerant.

You really aren't going to gain much. There is no correlation between high xmax and SPL.

No. It's not audible or more hard hitting.

I'll warn you though, my last drivers that had the black painted baskets chipped off very easily.I was told that was a small batch of baskets that did not bake properly. I was informed the issue is resolved now.

All baskets are now black.

My 4 year old lives my metal; Motionless In White, A Day To Remember, The Browning, etc.

Looks stock.

He uploaded the video. It's his video.Sure is some EPIC trolling. Lol.

Wattage depends on many things. Here is a formula that may help. W=V*A And don't forget about efficiency.

Post a few pictures. We could tell you.

Because it's an open space cabin. For Mark's needs perhaps a 6th order, but BP'ing a 4th order would be a waste of wood.Until all options are explored, there is no right answer or end-all option, I was merely trying to encourage others to tell me why they asked Mark what enclosure he would go with.

Better question, why not a bandpass?

Not if I recall correctly.

It's a Sean Belanger project. That's enough reason for me to stay away from it.

Darn, you beat me to the video. I suggest you research some thermodynamics.

Based on this post, you need to research how loudspeakers work.No, they won't make a video. There are trade secrets involved in the build process.

I'm not sending you a message, I just told you how to fix it.

The claim should have been handled through the shipper first, it is a process that takes a few weeks but it would have gotten you your refund, and you could have kept the sub. You are handling this all wrong.

No, don't quit talking, ever. Just don't help perpetuate this myth. Car audio is full of this crap. This site is supposed to help people. When certain things are said (in error) all they do is keep the dumb people dumber. I have no doubt you understand this thread, just be careful with what you say as you will confuse the crap out of others.Okay I like you. You are a chill dude. Do you know how to create battery terminals from scratch? You need to just private message him.

Sean is the unofficial SSA dealer for Michigan, plenty of people will vouch for him, myself included.

I normally eat Sun butter, it is made from sunflower seeds; as my daughter is allergic to peanut butter.

Thank you.

I made that cap, the caps directly from Fi are dry carbon not made by me.
