Stupid Question on Q.... (1 Viewer)

[Chris-E-S]

What is the Q of a sub or speaker? Everyone talks about the Q being .7 or 1 or xxx, what is that? I searched, but loooking for an answer on a one letter question is like finding a needle in a haystack.

How does one calculate the 'Q' of the enclosure?

EDIT: Alright, just loaded up WinISD and aparently it tells you right there

Doesn't make sence though, with a sealed box, as you increase the volume, the Qtc goes up.. shouldnt it go down? Smaller box shoudl give a loser Qtc, because the driver is easier to 'snap back'

Am I missing something?

Or there's more damping force in a smaller enclosure, lower Q.
