wouldn't there be advantages to actually making the enclosure an appropriate size? Speaker manufacturers are in the business of selling speakers. They sell what people want, what people want is speakers that are small. If, instead of accountants, engineers determined what was sold Bose would not ex...

Thanks Rich4349. I have ordered the Smith & Larson software, which I understand should allow me to determine most of the specs I would need. And there is no doubting the little kid aspect, but I am ripe for my midlife crisis, and this makes more sense than a Ferrari. I purchased the Tuba HTLP pl...

Thanks again Bill. That makes sense. I cannot tell you how many times I have read about low sound waves passing through walls. Your ability to make sense of these things in a way that I understand is invaluable. My own background is in light, Out of curiosity, do you know if the frequency of sound c...

I have a question about all of the subwoofer designs out there. I understand the idea of appropriate volume, and to a degree, I understand the idea of controlling air flow and pressure. Those affect the physical environment and the physical actions of the driver. What I do not understand is the idea...

I have an established Alibaba commercial account from a few past projects that gets me in with Chinese suppliers. The other day I was goofing off on Alibaba, and I noticed that a company was offering a 8000 watt RMS 32-inch subwoofer driver. The cost is$850 to $950 which would be plus shipping, and ...

I also have a nagging suspicion that driver size has increased over the years, but enclosure size has not. That has me wondering about the volume requirements for subwoofers, and I seem to see a lot of ported subs that cannot have the volume they should. They don't. Google 'Hoffman's Iron Law'. Phy...

Thanks everyone. The thing is this is more an experiment than a subwoofer. I want to actually hear what different permutations sound like, and I want to be able to easily mix things up, I realize that a lot of this at east in theory can be answered with equations and software. I also have a nagging ...

I am relatively new to all of this, and am just starting on a subwoofer that may or may not make any sense. In an nutshell it is a a round column or tube subwoofer. It will be 6 feet tall and 36 inches in diameter and have 2 opposing SI HS-24 Mk II drivers. I am told that I am doing this backwards b...

Hello everyone, my name is Matt Davis, and I live in Seattle. I am newly back to audio after a decade away, primarily with the purpose of designing a new home theater that will let me disappear for another decade. I as a Paradigm guy back then and now have been kidnapped by Klipsch forces. But all t...
