Another thing. this gets a touch above my pay grade but I have a friend who lives, breaths, eats, Sleeps. on this stuff. Alas I've enot spoken to him in a bit.
Everybody, myself included, in this thread has been talking about SPEAKERS. Speakers live in an "Eenclosure" and this enclosure is part of the speaker system.. It has resonance. and the speaker that goes into it is designed to match the box. or the other way around.. IF you put a really nice speaker in the WRONG enclosure.. It won't sound nice.
I did a high-school research about speakers and resonant frequencies; learned how to make a port (one step at a time, you can't put the sawdust back) Find the resonant peak frequency and did my best to match the port to the resonant frequency of the speaker. A port gives you a lot of bass for no extra power.
Trying to think of a way to set speakers in an RV. I want to use the entire rig as a passive, ported enclosure. Won't need a sub for bass with nice ported enclosures for the 6.5"speakers (I'll try the GTO 629 coaxials in enclosures) I think a rock, blues, jazz classical fan (me) will do gish fine with my system. Might just have to fly the speakers.
