Re: Testing phase at the crossover point.

Got it. I have been doing the sleep sounds thing since something got screwed with in 2020. There was no rogue beat frequency until a switch got flipped.

Re: Testing phase at the crossover point.

Thanks.might to hang onto a PA amp with delay unless I get lucky with the horn path and distance to the bedroom vs window. Could move the mic around I suppose. Good to know.

Re: Testing phase at the crossover point.

I am shorty moving next to a road. Could I employ my HT and a mic on delay to match the worst of the rumble at 180° at night with the individual truck passing by?

Re: THTLP Kicker

Kicker 48CWR152
Fs 29hz
Qts 0.46
Vas 97

Re: THTLP Kicker

Auto sound is the main market for raw drivers. If they publish the specs and they are in range are they not hifi drivers with poser paint jobs? There's no Dayton or GSS here.

Re: THTLP Kicker

I found a build thread showing the driver chamber. Looks like plenty of depth but the limiting dimension on the collar arrangement is the 18" width. Is that 18 - panel thicknesses = 17" across inside or is 18" the mouth opening width?
