Hi all.
With regards to a sealed sub enclosure, is there any disadvantage to making it slim/shallow (front to rear)
Eg instead of an enclosure 40w 40h 40d (cm) could I make it the same volume but half as deep - 56.5w 56.5h 20d ? Assuming some clearance behind the driver magnet of course....
Cheers

Hi,
You can make the dimensions nearly anything you want. The key thing is to make sure your driver has adequate ventilation at the vent pole, if it has one. If it vents from the sides or elsewhere, you have more room to go even thinner. There are practical limits, but you will rarely ever get to them due to the thickness of the driver itself in the system being an obvious limiting factor. Plenty of subs are big, tall, wide and skinny at 7~8 inch depth with the driver having an inch or so of clearance at the vent pole.
Very best,

Very best,
Not really an issue. If the aspect ratio grows large enuff you could have a half-wave transmission line.
