resonance and sealed enclosures


I was wondering: suppose you have a smallish sealed subwoofer with a resonance frequency of 40 Hz (obviously not up the quality of the things usually talked about here). This is right at the frequency of the low E on a bass. My concern is that the reponse at 40 Hz will be exagerrated. The resonance peak on a sealed sub isn't important when it's 20 Hz or below. Will the 40 Hz resonance really matter?

I am thinking about using this sub for computer speaker BTW.

It looks like we're all in agreement.

Most sealed designs come in between 0.7 and 1.0 when it comes to Q, with 0.77 problably being most common, due to the way people perceive the sound.
