deadbroke Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 So if the t/s parameters so no for a sealed enclosure what would happen to the sub? If you make the sealed section too small im guessing it would destroy surround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaeton Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 no, but your cone might fold but you need to be running a lot of power for that to happen. the worst that could happen is it doesnt sound good. 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadbroke Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I see people run subs in 4th orders when ts Params say not to how do they get away with this and why does the manufacturer say not to run sealed if you obviously can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philrab Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I see people run subs in 4th orders when ts Params say not to how do they get away with this and why does the manufacturer say not to run sealed if you obviously can Because you're well and able to run a sub in a sealed enclosure, but the T/S parameters may FAVOR a ported enclosure. Very few subs I've seen are 100% one or the other. Most are fairly dual purpose, but most work better in one or the other. Is there a specific sub you have in mind so we can be specific, or are you just asking a general question. If the latter, all we can give is general advice. 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Triticum Agricolam Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'll add that just because a sub is able to do something does not mean it is able to do it well. You can run just about any sub in just about any type of enclosure and it will make noise. I suspect there are a lot of setups out there built by naive people that are significantly less than ideal, they just don't know any better.

PortSideAudio Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 It will just sound less then perfect really. You won't end up damaging the sub unless you do something stupid. But the best box in the world can't protect against stupidity. 2002 Toyota Corolla Pioneer DEH-80PRS Soundqubed Q1-2200d Soundqubed HDC3.118 Soundqubed Q4-120 Alpine SPR-60 Alpine SPR-60C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
