a few RLi-10 questions

Recommended Posts

According to the website:

Optimal Car:

0.65 cu ft net volume sealed

0.55 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 32 Hz

Is this right? This is the first time I see a vented box with a smaller net volume then a sealed box.

If I end up with a RLi-10 and go with a ported box tuned to 32 Hz, the net volume would be about 0.8 ft^3. How would having a larger net volume effect the sound of the sub?

And one more question to the actual Sound Splinter guys. Can you tell me what the shipping cost of a RLi-10 to zip code 96819 (Honolulu, Hawaii).

EDIT: I just notice this on the same page:

Acceptable:

0.4 - 0.95 cu ft net volume sealed

0.6 - 1.2 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 22 - 34 Hz

I'm guessing the .55 cu ft is a typo?

i'd wager teh .55 is the flattest response, ie butterworth, ported enclosure specs.

going .8 would help with bottom end, but make it a bit more peaky. overall sq wouldn't suffer, jsut wouldn't be as flat.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

a perfect sealed alignment according to software is around .2 cf and Mike recomends bigger sealed boxes. that's why it seems weird to see a ported box recomendations smaller than sealed
