Hy Wayne . Could tell me Wayne as compare the 2pi bass to the 8 pi bass . what enclosure give more punch ..Thanks
Bass from the two π tower and the eight π loudspeaker is about the same. The biggest difference is in the midrange, as you might imagine. The eight π midrange is clearer and more defined and more uniform off-axis.
Thanks Wayne just a last thing . So that the 8 pi dont have front woofer radiation only back radation what range of frecuency handle the 3 square port I think that from 35 hz to 500 hz but you answer dissipate dudes . thanks again
That's a common misconception - bass doesn't come solely through the ports. Bass sound pressure comes from the front of the cone just as it does from the back. The rear wave is tuned by a Helmholtz resonator which loads the cone at bass frequencies, but most of the sound you hear comes from the front. Only a narrow range in the bottom octave comes through the ports.
