Basshead08 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Are there any other "side effects" to using a smaller enclosure besides needing more power?

Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) how can a small enclosure damage a woofer? small enclosures usually are peakier in the notes that they play, meaning that some notes are much louder than others. and small enclosures makes the woofer need more power to get the same output as if it was in a larger enclosure.

If it's too small of an enclosure, the backpressure of the air behind the woofer could cause mechanical damage. Box rise is a factor, and also the smaller the enclosure the higher the frequency of the tune. In order to get a lower frequency, mass needs to be added to the cone of the woofer.

Not sure about this^^^ might be right? Box rise is a factor, and also the smaller the enclosure the higher the frequency of the tune. In order to get a lower frequency, mass needs to be added to the cone of the woofer. This is correct^^^. Quote If you build it, db's will come...

ISO Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hope I dont sound like an idiot here but what do you mean by adding mass to the cone of the woofer? Its probly better that you don't know! There isn't any reason to manipulate a manufactures speaker. Adding mass means to glue stuff to the cone to make it heavier and can also damage a woofer very quickly if you don't know what you are doing. Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one. "Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go." Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
