The ELA line of subwoofer are high sound quality subs. They will produce quite a bit of high impact slam, but are not high SPL subwoofers in the lowest octaves. They are intended for music and home theater in moderately sized rooms. They're design goal was to produce highly accurate musical sound with high levels of pitch definition and musical nuance. And they do this from a very small package. If you are looking for a large bombastic home theater sub with maximum output, we are working on much larger sealed and ported subs to satisfy the high end home theater crowd. Look for these over the coming months.

Using T/S parameters to their full effect is obviously necessary. But it goes a bit further than that; measurements for the MC2 speakers and ELA-3 subwoofer! There are reasons to use a ported subwoofer just as there are equally good reasons to use a sealed sub. Which subwoofer design works best for you will have more to do with your other speakers and the room they are placed in. First; the main loudspeakers are often the most difficult to mate with the subwoofer speakers. Sealed subwoofers typically have better transient response. Even though they may not have quite as deep extension in the lower bass the roll off is slower, so it still sounds like they are going deep. Combined with better transient performance, a sealed sub is often the best way to go. Ported speakers tend to ring more than sealed speakers. Inside a sealed sub, the sealed air acts similar to a shock absorber on a car to slow down the cone after the voice coil creates a transient. Ported subs don’t do this because they have a hole in the cabinet which easily vents the air above resonant frequency. However, both types of cabinets use resonance to shelve up the bass. But ported subs are the best if all you care about is maximum sound pressure level and high volume home theater with plenty of bass. Sealed subwoofers tend to start and stop very quickly and will have a more accurate presentation (all other things being equal). Using a ported sub with a sealed main speaker often translates into the ‘muddy bass’ syndrome. These are generalizations and not absolute... In some situations you can break every rule and still get excellent results.  designed and assembled in the USA Attn: Peter Selby 806 East Ave Eaton Ohio 45320 phone: 937-206-2569 The Exceptional ELA-3 Sub This subwoofer was a joint effort between Jim Wilson (a customer of ours) and Peter Selby.
