I need a little help. I'm planning to build new enclosures for my mains, but this time they are going to be used with subwoofers (for both music and HT), crossing over at 80 Hz. My woofers are 1401ND which will now cover the range from 300 Hz to 80 Hz, handing off to a pair of W1500H below that.
Since I'm now crossing over to a subwoofer, should I use a ported enclosure for the 1400ND, or would a sealed box be better? Does a port contribute anything in this scenario? If I use a ported box I will probably go with a 2.8 cu ft tuned to around 35 Hz. I'm not sure what size to use if it's sealed. I will really appreciate any comments. Thanks!
