Master
Wayne,
If/when you have time, would you please look at these numbers for me? I want to know if you think this driver is suitable for Pi alignment, or is it crossing the line into mudmotor/loose woofer territory. I am not a sub fan but this is interresting. I would likely cross @ 70Hz to a kappa or omega 12" if I get these subs. (friend says box is too big, I told him to let me check it in boxplot before he bought them. Ha! now he wants to sell CHEAP!)

Thanks,
Thomas

Using your numbers, Fts=26.6, Vas=15.0 and Qts=0.40, PiAlign values are Frd=26.6, Vad=15.0 and Qd=2.5. PiAlign suggests making a 6 cubic foot box tuned to 25Hz. For a bass-reflex cabinet, actual dimensions are 34" x 22" x 15" and with a rectangular port having inside dimensions of 3 15/16" x 6 15/16" x 14" long.

The resulting system has a lower -3dB point of 40Hz and response down to this frequency is nice and smooth.

Thanks Wayne! (I must get comfortable with Pialign) [message #37055 is a reply to message #37054] Sun, 23 June 2002 11:35 Go to previous message
