[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 54527, member: 3"] Hi Byron, I believe that Isobaric designs deserve being looked at when the situation calls for it. In my experience a ported isobaric sounds pretty much exactly the same as a standard ported enclosure, except that the cabinet it is smaller. I also would not say there is any improvement in sound quality. The theory is that it is half the size, but that is the internal volume the inner driver must see. This means the cabinet is usually only about 25 - 35% smaller than a standard ported enclosure. The other thing to consider is that you will need double the power in an isobaric to achieve a similar SPL to a standard bass reflex enclosure. I have the IB Sub now, so building standard subs are not on my medium term projects list. Are you interested in building one? Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
