Also, go sealed, because that way you don't have to worry as much about them getting the right volume and port size exactly right. Fibreglass is better than MDF for enclosures because its more rigid and will flex less. Assuming they're made well... |

Silver Member Username: ScubasteveCollege Park, MD Post Number: 701 Registered: May-05 | quick lesson of what sound is: vibrating air. The air is vibrated by current passing through a coil surrounded by a magnet which is used to make the cone vibrate at certain speeds, or frequencies. As long as only one side of the cone is only open to the cabin, there will be sound. Actually there's sound even if the speaker isn't baffled, it was just suffer massive cancellation, the sound waves produce on one side are exactly 180 degrees out of phase with the other side. |
