how to figure our the Fs of a speaker


Recommended Posts

My friend has a spare 7 inch midbass driver laying around. I just figured out how to build a t-line box and his brother wants a bit of bass in his Volvo 740

So of course, now I want to build a t line box. But I don't know the resonating frequency of the speaker. Is there any way i can figure this out so I can build the box? What would I do? Free air it and try to see at what frequency it moves the most?

P.S. Looking up the specs isn't an option. It is the midbass driver from a dcm loudspeaker from the (90s?)

I was going to say best bet is looking it up, but as you stated that's a no go. If there is a way to find it through some test or calculation I am sure someone will post it eventually.

Turned mine up today at a light, guy next to me his steering wheel started moving and he looked over at me like I was a magician lol.

I'll admit, half way through sanding that fiberglass in the rain and cold while I was all itchy I was definitely starting to question why i was doing this haha

easiest way, if its a DVC

hook up power to one coil, other coil get a volt meter set at ohms

do test tones from 20hz - 80hz

Get grid paper, do a graph row going up- ohms 1ohm to say 60ohms

width on the graph, tone

graph it out, you will see a big peak in the impedance, that is where Fs is

If you can do increments in 5hz that would be easy, other than that, 1hz per test will suck lol

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

How 'bout if it is a SVC @5 (yes, 5) ohms?
