lets see what an expert has to say about it all...www.elitecaraudio.com/home/html/print.php?sid=22
Yeah, one more note. I read through this article, and I do see what he was trying to get at. Essentially, this guy is arguing the following: Any speaker will produce frequencies at all ranges. This may be true. A 40 Hz note from a sub may also carry a slight 80Hz, 120Hz, 160Hz, 5fo, 6fo, etc. etc. harmonic - maybe... (I don't really believe this one, but if it does, it must come from the inconsistencies in the speaker design). However these harmonics are arguably very slight in comparison to the fundamental note. Therefore, they shouldn't be of great concern. One good word of advise that he did put in there though. If there are these higher frequency harmonics in a sealed subwoofer enclosure, then a great way to combat these standing waves is to build a box where the reflections are not between two parallel walls. Look at the walls at a movie theatre next time you go in. You'll see that they are not parallel to each other. Same reason. The wave won't reflect back in the same direction. Effectively, this eliminates any possibility of standing waves. Anyways, I thought I'd put my two cents in... -Clayton
