How much will the "golden box ratio" change the sound of a sub as opposed to a standard cube with good internal bracing. The concept behind the golden box ratio is to reduce equi-distant walls to reduce resonance/standing wave frequency. But does this really play a role in subwoofer design?
I'd much rather do a cube as I could have much better internal bracing and the option of having it down firing at the same time.
Also, down firing vs front firing? Is the only benefit of down firing that you don't see the drivers. And is there any accoustical downfall of down firing subwoofers?
Thanks
