This is my first post here, so I should introduce myself as the latest resident newbie.
I've been planning a big ported box for quite some time now, but I've just stumbled onto this board from google when I was looking for more info on SS RL-p15 drivers. I spent all day reading about two DIY projects that were finished using two enclosures with these drivers. But why sealed?! When modeling them in WinISD, the ported enclosure seems to better the sealed in SPL and extension.
But the more I read on this board, the more I find the sealed + EQ being recommended? I modeled a SS RL-p15 in a 7cuft sealed enclosure with 1000w, and it was going over excursion under 25Hz. If you use the EQ to boost those low frequencies, wouldn't you destroy the driver?
Thanks, I know I should probably use the search feature but I wanted to post something. :B
