Car Sub & Enclosure vs Instrument Sub & Enclosure

Recommended Posts

I'd say I'm more of a musician than I am a car audio enthusiast. Mesa Boogie just came out with some new cabinets featuring their "Tri-Port" design.

I don't think I've seen a cab like this in the car audio field. Can anyone explain the science behind this design? Would it work in a car? What are the differences between the 2 types? Besides the fact that a car sub is used for HiFi reproduction.

From a acoustical performance perspective, the "Tri-port" design isn't going to do anything differently than a regular ported cabinet will. However it will help make the cabinet stronger and is an efficient use of space, like they said in the video.

The only way it would make a difference in sound is if it was setup like a 6th order with one ported section separated from the other. this is just acting like multiple ports, like some do with aero ports.

-If its loud, fast, outrageous, or all of the above, chances are i'll think its awesome.
