Smooth..!

[Jeff Beaird]

Has anyone taken a BFM cabinet and smoothed out all the sharp corners or angles? Not changing anything but simply smoothing the pathway through the enclosure? If there was a major difference I'm sure MR. Fitzmaurice would have clued us in.
But has anyone measured the effectiveness of this?
From my experience, , almost everything I've been involved in regaurding airflow has gotten better results by smoothing out the path from A to B. Thanks , Jeff...

Subs doesn't matter. DR's already done.

crawbeaird,
On my 1st set of DR200s I cleaned all excess adhesive and sanded the horn throat. The 2nd set I just slapped together I left the small gobs of adhesive and no sanding because I couldn't wait to get them done, the first set sounded so good. I could not tell them apart without getting a mirror and light and looking. If you have the time go for it, in my case it made no difference.

Sound reinforcement is not really about airflow. It is about wave propagation. If you were building a HVAC system then I would agree with you...heck I'd even be looking for ways to add some turning vanes into the Titans...

But as Leland already pointed out, with subs the waves are so long that minor bumps along the way don't matter. And with DRs the horn path is curved already.

Thank God! It took me long enough to get the bumps, dips, nicks and other imperfections out of the visible parts...and I'd still be sanding if Duratex weren't so good at hiding what I missed.
