When the enclosure is bigger, the air spring limits cone motion less and allows the system to play lower and with flatter overall response (lower Qtc) at the expense of power handling. Problem is if you go too large you start to compromise efficiency in order to gain the additional low frequency extension. On the other hand, making the enclosure smaller will cause the air spring to exert more control and limits cone motion at low frequencies which increases power handling but does not let the system play as low and produces a more peaked response (higher Qtc). PortedDepending on the sound you desire, you tune a port to a certain frequency to achieve better bass response around that frequency. The tuning of the port there must be done using careful calculations which take into consideration the enclosure volume, the resonance of the port and the Thiele / Small parameters of the sub into consideration. Using these we attempt to delay the rear output wave of the speaker just enough so that when it comes out of the port it is close to being in phase with the wave being produced by the front of the sub. By altering the port length and diamter, we tuned the port to a certain frequency. The reason ported enclosures are generally considered louder is that when we utilise the work of the rear of the cone we gain double the bass, or 3dB over a broad range of frequencies. BandpassWith bandpass enclosures the woofer no longer plays directly into the listening area. Instead the entire output of the subwoofer system is produced through the port or series of ports. In a conventional sealed or ported enclosure the low-frequency extension is controlled by the interaction of the speaker and the enclosure design but the high frequency response is a result of the speaker's natural frequency response capability unless limited by a crossover. In a bandpass enclosure the front of the speaker fires into a chamber which is tuned by a port. This ported front chamber acts as a low-pass filter which acoustically limits the high frequency response of the subwoofer system. The name "bandpass" is really pretty descriptive in that it refers to the fact that the enclosure will only allow a certain frequency "band" to "pass" into the listening environment.</blockquote>
