Hi, I'm just trying to understand what would happen with a lossy surround like cloth when that driver goes in a sealed cabinet.
I see a lot of recommendations from Eminence and others for their drivers to be placed in sealed enclosures that seem undersized vs the driver's TS parameters. If I assume no loss at all through the driver's surrounds, then the resulting curve in the seemingly undersized box usually gives a massive bump in the bottom end that would seem like it would be very inaccurate.
Does the lossy surround mean that said driver can go into a smaller enclosure without a massive bump in the response? Is it kind of like an aperiodic enclosure then - the surround being a resistive loss?
