To get the most out of a driver it needs to be loaded correctly and EBP is a good guide on it's use. It's a waste of time trying to get a driver designed for vented use to work in sealed and visa versa.

What happens, specifically, if one uses a driver with high EBP in a sealed cabinet? Is it just that the bass rolls off early, which could be EQ'ed out elsewhere, or is there something uncorrectable happening?
