with a bass reflex port, the design tunes it acoustically to work with the chosen speaker (and cabinet size blah blah). Given how acoustics work, that means you could tune it to be out-of-phase at the resonant frequency, or you could tune i

my statement was that the bass reflex design decreased the efficiency of that system itself (as in "it could be more efficient in itself, which is what the youtube video was saying). Cancelling some frequencies decreases the efficiency

how many humans would invent writing without being taught in school? how about algebra? how about arabic numeral-ing? and you have no idea how humans reason, but LLMs are neural networks, what do you think neural refers to?
