Do you have a question about the Infinity Reference 1042w and is the answer not in the manual?
Provides most control over woofer movement, accurate sonic reproduction, and requires least space.
Offers better efficiency in 40Hz-50Hz range but less control and lower output below 40Hz.
Provides most output but at the expense of sonic accuracy; often large.
Caused by overdriving amplifiers into clipping, leading to voice coil heat damage and potential failure.
Allows greater cone excursion, significantly reducing power handling to half its rated power.
Study excursion curves on data sheets to understand differences in power handling for various enclosure types.
