Does enclosure size effect subwoofer cooling


Recommended Posts

Does the size of an enclosure have an effect on subwoofer cooling?

Does a smaller vented box cool better the same or less than a larger vented box? Daily enclosure speaking.

From the past few boxes ive had seems that my subs take longer to get stinky in a larger vented box, my newest box is small compared to the other and the coils seem to heat up quicker.

The more u control the cone movement with small volume the less it moves. A sub cools by moving so yes it matters, far more than a minute amount

Playing at tuning all the time is also something that can cause added heat since in a ported box the sub moves the least at tuning

Just say no to korey hofer

But it will not be moving as much to get cool

But at lower volume, the sub is seeing less power, so it will not be getting as hot???

a sub cools itslf by moving period!!!! it needs to move lower... volume does give you less current draw and thd that does cause less heat but then the sub is not cooling itself by moving ether so it can get just as hot with low volumes and then again it might not get hot at all depends on the box

subs are box dependent

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

If I am running 200 watts to each of my 9512s, the 3" coils will not be getting warm, because they have the ability to dissipate the little bit of heat there is. As power increases so does heat, but the coils stay cool because the sub is moving more. The box does affect cooling due to different impedance profiles as well as the tuning of the box itself.
