Cabinet design, port placement and internal standing waves
…
There are three things that come into play with the cabinet geometry and the arrangement of the woofer and port(s).
First is the Helmholtz frequency, which is something pretty much all DIYers think about. When you run a T/S simulation, this is …

Dealing with internal standing waves
…there. What you won't know is what the internal standing waves do to response. So build the cabinet and make some acoustic measurements. You can even do an impedance sweep if acoustic measurements are hard to do.
If you see any noticable blips, …

Re: 4 PI by Andy
…10ft^3. The longest side is about 36" internal. It would not be used as true flanking sub but it may be low passed as high as 120Hz. If standing waves indeed form in this case, they would come form the harmonics, not main content
Would you …

Internal standing waves and port position
… issue. The thing you're concerned about is internal standing waves. You can't prevent them from lining up inside the box, but you can prevent them from adversely affecting the response curve. The way to do this is to put the port in a benign position …

Re: 4 PI by Andy
…low-pass frequency must be low enough that internal standing waves do not develop in the passband.
Otherwise the rules change.
If you run a big box like the one you posted as a flanking sub, then it will receive some lower midrange frequencies, and …

Re: 4Pi speaker tweek
…changing box size/shape is it changes the internal standing waves. These cabinets are tuned with Helmholtz resonance, but that doesn't prevent transmission line effects from inadvertently coming into play. We don't want that.
It isn't that …

Re: 2 pi tower variants
… matter" but in fact what I mean is the internal standing waves are attenuated rather than incorporated as a tuning mechanism like a horn or transmission line. But even that being the case, it is still important to consider internal standing wave …

Re: Definimax 4012HO - End of Life

Re: Two PI: A Little Bright OR Light in the Bass?
… node of a standing wave. All cabinets have internal standing waves, and that's why we use insulation inside, to attenuate the standing waves.
Large cabinets are particularly sensitive to cabinet mods because internal standing waves are at low enough …

Re: Golden ratio for loudspeaker cabinets
…mean, it doesn't hurt, but the truth is that internal standing waves can set up in a golden ratio box just as easily as they do in any other shape.
Another belief is that trapezoidal cabinets and other non-parallel shapes will help. The belief, in …
