Subject: cylindrical subwoofers, pipe organ resonance


Hello,

I know many companies are making cylindrical subwoofers, and state that there is no difference in sound from a box. I've not seen a good explination other than weight/footprint for making a cylindrical subwoofer. Can you help with this?

Also, the subwoofers I've seen are quite long in order to get the volume needed. Many are close to 5foot or longer. It seems that this would give you a big pipe organ style resonance, is this not the case or is it handled somehow? (so in a 5ft cyl you would have a half wavelength resonance at somthing like 113Hz)
