This may seem stupid to the experts but i just looked up audio stuff on www.howstuffworks.com I never actually understood what ported and sealed boxes did but this really explained it to me. i also understand now why it is recomended to use less power in a portes box. I just thought this might help some of the novices such as myself and maybe even some of the others. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/speaker4.htm I just thought this was interesting.

Here some useless facts. A subwoofer is a transducer. Silver is a better conductor than gold or copper. The reason copper is used is for expense. The reason gold connectors are used is because gold is softer and fits the connector better. I could go on for days.

 

Sorry if it seems stupid to you but all ive ever read on the forums is that a ported is louder and that it is harder on your subs. Well this explained a little more why its louder and why its harder on it. Sorry if its a useless fact to you but it helped me to understand it better.

I think it was a good link to post. That howstuffworks website breaks things down into laymen terms real nice like. I am sure someone that reads this forum will benefit from it. Good post.

 

Woooo. Didn't mean it that way. Just more facts your stuff is good. If that is how it was implied I am sorry.

It more than Ok. The part where I wrote useless information screwed you up and wasn't meant like that. I'm just glad your not still mad. We all have our bad days.

 

Invalid,

I checked out that site as well. That is great place for info as well. Now if only we could get some of those links all together and make it into a sticky thread.

 

Ask and you shall recieve!
