I am modeling a coffee table sub with Win ISD. I'm using an AE AV15 in a 12ft^3 box with dual 4 " vents tuned to 17 Hz. Above 31 Hz, GD actually looks about the same on the vented enclosure as on the sealed of same internal volume.
Below 31 Hz the sealed box has great looking GD but doesn't have that much output very far below 31 Hz anyways. Besides what do you play below ~ 35 Hz that requires great GD? It's mostly pipe organs, T-Rex footsteps, and explosions.
I bought some Brent Plugs from Home Depot to plug up the vents when I listen to music, but now I wonder, why even bother? If I were tuning a box to 30 Hz I might be more concerned with using the plugs.
Any thoughts?
