Foam Plugs


I noticed that some ported speakers come with foam plugs.

In what situation would you use these? What results can be expected from using these?

There are two main factors that when combined as in EBP = Fs/Qes.

If you have a low Fs (around 15 to 25) and you have a high Qes (expensive large motor light cone) then you will end up with a low EBP suited for a sealed enclosure (less than 50).

My subwoofer is sealed and uses Fs = 21 and Qes = 0.49 for a EBP of 42. It is a tight sounding (aka musical) subwoofer that sounds quite different from ported designs.
