Enclosure type for WS 20E

[davidhozic]

Hello,

I'm wondering if this driver would be more suitable for a vented box or a sealed enclosure. The EBP is 32.64 so according to that it would be more suited for a sealed box but I just want to hear some more suggestions.
The volume of the woofer box will be slightly under 39l.

So any suggestions?

Qts of 1.14 tells me sealed or.open back.

Great foe vented if a TL, i.e. 47 Hz/1.14 = ~41 Hz Fp.

Visaton has a design with a closed box for its smaller brother, the WS 17 E CLOU | Visaton

Hi All,

GM is right, A TL or a T-TQWT will do well,See the Pictures where a Mid-Bass can be added to a T-TQWT making a System showing very good System performance.

Hello,
Thank you for the reply.
Would a 39l enclosure with nothing inside work if the front panel has this cutout ?
I don't really want T-TQWT or TL because i'd have to make the box bigger than it already is if i don't want to sacrafice volume.

No, the back will need to be open back, i.e. covered with screen, pegboard or similar, then either damp to 'taste' using your ears and/or by response measurements or seal it up and EQ it.
