COMMON BOX DESIGNS

SEALED BOX-- 

VOLUME (cu. ft.)  COMMENTS

Small box

0.75 

Not a lot of deep bass but O.K. for most listeners

Pounder

1.5 

O.K. low end but tons of power handling - JAM ON IT!

Most accurate

2.0 

Very natural low frequency performance with good transient response 

–VENTED BOX--

Small box

0.75 

A little boomy due to small box

Pounder

1.5 

HIT IT HARD! (..as long as you don’t hit it with lots of subsonic frequencies)

Most accurate

2.0

Really pleasant deep bass with good tonal quality

--SINGLE VENT BANDPASS--

Small box

2.0 

Somewhat “one-note” performance due to small box

Pounder

2.5 

Narrow bandwidth but crying out for a serious “beating”

Most accurate

3.5 

Super low frequency response but trade off for lower audio output
