Arsenals should go in sealed or vented boxes?

Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 188 Registered: Sep-04 | Is it true if you divide Fs by Qes and if that value is below 50 then the sub is made for sealed enclosures. Or if the number is above 90 then the sub is designed for vented enclosures. How true is this? What would I lose if my subs are designed for sealed and I put them into vented enclosures? |

Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 190 Registered: Sep-04 | Mike, but would not that be true for all subs. How much better would the arsenals sound in sealed boxes? Have you heard the equation I listed above? |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 851 Registered: Feb-06 | true for all subs as ported makes you lose some sq, yeah as far as i know. don't know how much better sealed the arsenals would be though. i bought a pair but haven't put them in yet cause i've been waiting for amps for them. |

Silver Member Username: GangstafertJacksonville, Florida USA Post Number: 154 Registered: May-06 | i was going to get a kicker sx1250.1 but its alot and im saving and i am curious about those autoteks will they push my subs good and if so which should i get? |

Silver Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 304 Registered: Mar-06 | I just bought a 2000.1 from B for my 2 15's. The 1400.1 would push them great and you cant beat the prices. I was saving up for 2 Kicker 750.1's for mine but when I say this deal I was all over it. Buy the amp and if you dont like it you could probably re-sell it for at least what you paid for it. The kicker would be a good amp too but you will be putting a heck of a lot more to them with the 1400.1 (assuming your electrical system is up to par). |

Silver Member Username: Demon_prideCrowder, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 169 Registered: Oct-05 | He means AA will blow those off brands away. When I got my SX's and hooked them up, the closest thing i could compare them to was my friends 12w7, and they blew it away. I had heard some RF's before that and some Volfs, and I was completely suprised. This is a great first system for you man. |
