Ports vs. Slots: Any difference?

When we meet tomorrow I'll be able to show you all the graphs in WinISD and you can see for yourself how many things change with the design of the cabinet and the nature in which they change. There's a crap load of things to think about all at once and there is no one system that maximizes the optimum value for each of them...which means a great big happy game of compromises (yay) 14.gif2.gif

No, in fact the radiation resistance (your air load) at Fb is essentially nil.

At the resonance frequency of the duct, the cone has to move ever so slightly to cause the acoustic mass presented by the duct to resonate (recall it is a "resonant system"). Since the coil is barely moving, the back EMF generated by the interaction of the coil with the B-field in the gap is small and thus the impedance of the driver at Fb is very close to the DC resistance of the coil.
