Hey guys!

If I have a real small 15" cabinet which a 15" speaker fits in to snuggly, should I run it open or closed back? It sounds kinda thin when it's ran closed. should it even matter?

I welcome all of your answers.

no too small on front to add a port.

Which speaker?

You can always download and run WinISD. You'd need the Thiele-Small parameters for the speaker. You can then adjust the box in WinISD to the size the box is, and it'll tell you what the frequency response will be.

Or you could just run it open back Smile
