MarioB Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 i just have read that it always helped airflow thats why i made the post im new to car audio myself, so i just wanted to see what others had to say about it.

Autruche Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 If you truly are concerned about airflow, then do a confetti test. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

TeamHT Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 no one can tell you what it gains, and sometimes 45's ruin your airflow, and lower score or do nothing at all hmm havent heard this one yet really? its very true. not every tactic used is going to be useful for every single application. think about airflow, pressurizing the port.....there is no cookie cutter way of making DBs.

I was more interested in what people had to say about it thats why i put the popcorn. sorry not trying to thread jack.

I didn't take it as you being a smartass, I did take it as an actual question with a hint of smartass, lol. And yes, adding deadener can affect resonant frequency, which in turn may affect the efficiency and how well an enclosure performs in a given space. There are just so many variables I find it funner to just test, test, and test. I normally build to what I like anyways, since I don't compete. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

fecupe2001 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 That´s why SPL it´s so much fun, trial and error it´s the key, what works for my application might suck on yours Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.
