i have seen a lot of people here says things like "this driver is flat to x frequency in a vented box of y liters"
im curious, do any of you worry about phase responce? the general feeling i got is that you are making boxes as big as you can to get the responce as flat as you can. That all very well, but thats a bad way of doing it.
I made that same mistake with my 12inch lightning audio (rockford Fosgate) strike DVC sub. its in a 3.5 cubic foot box and is flat right down to around 17hz. Flat, but the phase responce is horrid. at around 90hz the phase totally shifts 180degrees meaning its effectivly useless above that point. Making boxes bigger makes the problem worse.
i was just wondering if anyone took this into account? (oh and im not flaming anybody lol)
