The Definition of a Passive Radiator


Recommended Posts

I looked up it on google as your build log says about the PR's and I saw the wiki post, which was decent information, but the rest that you have up here really does go into so much more depth. Thank you!!!!

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

My friend has a pair of Vintage speakers, the Genesis Model 210 from 1981, and they have an 8' woofer, and a 10' passive radiator, and they sound really good bass-wise. The PR does really help with extending the bass notes, and it looks cool when the speakers flex cause the woofer moves one way, while the PR moves the opposite way.

It would be interesting to see a system build involving Passive Radiators

Interesting read from the audio expert .

We've built a passive radiator , but had to use more liabilities. With one of the membrane and 200g it played a 50hz high enough .

With two passive radiator and each 250g, debugging using the impedance measurements was 35Hz and sound more accurate and faster as boom Bass reflex .

Liabilities, but failed to do so much SPL
