It's my understanding that a subwoofer with a low Efficiency Bandwidth Product should not be used in a vented cabinet. For example,I understood this to be the reason that the NHT 1259 is specifically not recommended for such an application. What I've never seen is a clear description of what would result from such a loading, except that it would sound terrible, with very bad transient response (although the fr LOOKS amazing in such a box). Is this the case?
Anyone care to clarify exactly what is going on here, and how the various parameters that make up the EBP conspire against or for a type of loading?
Also, I assume (yikes) that a driver unfit for reflex loading would be similarly unsuitable for use with a passive radiator. Is this the case?
Just something I've been wondering about, trying to grasp what that number actually means. Thanks.
