thanks Brian

regarding the FR, assuming the drivers are up to it, can't I boost and cut as I would like and therefore make two different sealed boxes have the same FR? If that is possible, then I'm wondering what the qualitative difference in sound would be.

Regarding your answer above, aND WRAPPING MY POOH BEAR BRAIN AROUND IT, WOULD IT BE TRUE TO SAY THAT IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS THE shape OF THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE IS THE ULTIMATE ARBITER OF THE q??Sorry about that, caps lock and all but I don't want to go and retype it. Is that how you were able to change the Q w/out altering the volume.
