Displacement by Horn and Driver? [message #44823]

Hi Wayne,

Wondering if you've done any rough calculations in terms of how much volume is displaced by the midrange horn and Alpha10 driver.

For example, if I insert the horn and driver into a 6 cubic ft box, how much volume would I be left with?

BTW, I noticed that you specify 5.5 ft^3 for the 8PI. Is there a reason why you increased the volume by a square foot over the 2PI Towers?

thanks,
Gar.

There's a handy little program called "volume.exe" in the PiAlign distibution file that calculates volumes of various primitive shapes. You can approximate an object using a construction of solid primitive shapes. For example, a loudspeaker cone might be approximated using a cone for the basket and a cylinder for the magnet.
