Post Subject: Subs - sealed or Infinite baffledPosted by CO on: 10/21/2007
Thanks for your further thoughts and explanations Robert, Romy and others.
It looks like the full room enlargement will be my choise. Dont know i want to block the windows though. Maybe i can solve this by making a glass window behind the screen.. I will let this idea rest in the back of my head for now.
A place for the subs is next on the agenda. In the area behind the screen is quite a large volume for a few big woofers but it must be structurally quite strong to not have any vibrations that influence the sound. Also to use the this area i would need an airtight door here as well. If i generate 100dB sound on my side there will be maybe 110 dB on the other side of the wall. I could attach my couch to the wall with an extension pole 
I think a few sealed boxes will be more flexible but building them in the wall sounds very tempting. Quality wise i believe an "infinite baffle" aproach should be one of the best (although i have never heard one) because of the lack of the back wave hitting the cone again.
Regards,
Collin
