One possible low cost option for a open baffle sub is to use a corner of the room and mount a tall board sealed to the corner of the corner of the room. The width of the baffle board must be wide enough to fit the woofer. This would provide an open baffle of very large proportions plus additional reinforcement of the corner loading. If the baffle were sealed to the floor and ceiling and at least 4 x Vas of the driver in internal volume provided you'd have an infinite baffle design with the same corner loading. Either of these designs could be duplicated on both front wall corners or multiple drivers could be mounted on the same baffle.

I have a pair of Caroline Audio JTM's and use a pair of transmission line subs with them. The are large and unfinshed using Peerless 850146 CSX drivers and a simple crossover. This combination sounds wonderfull. Because they are unfinshed the wife doesn't like them so I ordered a pair of Ronnie's 7" Jordan transmission line subs. To bad they are so heavy or I would sell them cheaply.GTF

I've got the Titanic 12 in a 4 cu ft vented box which is great for HT and sometimes good and other times not so good on music. I really believe the recording is more crucial than the box but want to try sealed. What is the best way to close the port temporarily? And what causes those below 40 Hz booms and thuds that obviously aren't a part of the music. Receiver? Plate amp? Stupid recording engineer?

For the home theatre room, I'm running a McCormack DNA-1 amp and, because of the small footprint required, a pair of Definitive Technology BP-2000's. That's really set up for the grandchildren. But in *my* music room, I run SET's and have a pair of Lowther PM6A's with 40" front horns. I like the clarity of the Lowthers and the bass is, as a friend put it, credible. But I have found that many people overlook the quality of the bass in an audiophile system and just go for a sub with quality something like the BP's, which I think messes up a high-end system. So I'm building a pair of Pi Seven cornerhorns without tweeters as the bass boxes. My personal taste at this point in time is SET, and I don't like anything between the amp and the driver. So I am putting together a biamped system. One amp to the Lowthers, the other amp to the bass box. Such a setup requires lots of real estate, as the Pi's are huge and are too tall to act as bases for the 40" horns. The horns are on tripods (speaker stands), and thus can be moved for best sound. Hope this helps. Len
