Oversized dust caps

Recommended Posts

??? what do yall think of oversized dust caps,

i would think it would affect the performance of the sub,

and effect the Sd as well,

as the bottom of the sub is cone shaped and

the surface would be drastically different

???

as well as oversized inverted dust caps

please feel to post your thoughts ;D

i have photoshoped out the Logo for obvious reasons

Yeah, i've wondered about this, i think no dustcap looks sexy, like the Xcons, but i would think that different variations might affect surface area and the way it behaves under power.

Dust caps, whether inverted, regular, oversized, flat, etc., actually have no bearing on Sd at all. Because a sub is basically a piston, only the actual cross-sectional area between the surrounds matters. The dust cap shape only affects the sub's performance in terms of moving mass (larger dust caps weigh more, etc.), which the designer should be taking into account when he builds the sub anyways.
