Vented vs Sealed subwoofer box enclosure diagrams

The graph show here is a sample of how to F3 drop-off point differs between sealed vs vented subwoofer box enclosure.

SEALED ENCLOSURES


Sealed enclosures are the simplest to build.The most important part of
building a sealed enclosure is to make sure that the enclosure is airtight.
Using glue and some type of sealant on all seams will ensure solid
construction and prevent air leaks.The box volume will directly impact
the performance of the speaker. Larger enclosures will provide flatter
response and deeper bass where smaller boxes will provide a bump in
the response curve and generally higher output for greater SPL.
Advantages of sealed enclosures:
• Small enclosures
• Linear (Flat) response
• No port noise
• High power handling at all frequencies
• Excellent for sound quality
• Extended low frequency output when compared to vented enclosures

 VENTED ENCLOSURES


Vented enclosures vary only from the sealed enclosure in that a vent or
port is added to “tune” the enclosure.The enclosures recommended are
designed for great overall performance. Larger boxes tend to be easy to
tune to lower frequencies while medium and small boxes are easier to
tune to higher frequencies.The vented design is less linear in response
than the sealed box but with noticeably more output at the tuning frequency.
Advantages of vented enclosures:
• Higher average output than sealed
• Tuning frequency can be easily adjusted by changing port length
• Deep bass response with lower power requirements
• Great for high output with limited power

Front counterweight In a washing machine, the dirt in the fibres is removed by a combination of mechanical and chemical  actions. The solenoid valve ducts water through the detergent dispenser, where it collects the detergent and passes  into the tub. The correct water level is controlled by one or more pressure switches. The fabrics loaded into the drum are maintained in cons...

Tweeter loudspeaker burning protection schematic

Many loudspeaker systems incorporate  PolySwitch devices for  overcurrent protection. By tripping  during high-current conditions and  resetting when no longer needed,  PolySwitch devices provide reliable  protection without the nuisance  and replacement costs  associated with fuses. The Problem Today’s speakers are generally  designed and sold independently  of amplifiers. Thus, mismatches  may occur, which can lead to damage.  Also, the advent of digital  recordings and compact discs  places extra burdens on sound  systems. Speaker damage can  result from a number of factors,  including the following situations: • High-power amplifiers used with  low-power speakers may simply  overdrive the speaker coils with  excessive power during sustained high volume. • Low-power amplifiers may be  overdriven so that clipping  occurs. This causes an upward  frequency shift of power...
