Isobaric Tunnel / Quasi Isobaric Eighth Order Bandpass Design Help?


BMX-Casey

Recommended Posts

Looking to create an Isobaric Tunnel / Quasi Isobaric Eighth Order Bandpass or similar.

The subs I will be using will be (2x) DD 9915's.

I am unsure what type of enclosure will work best with these, and also for an Isobaric Tunnel/Eighth Order Bandpass design I don't have a clue where to start designing it. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated - or any other suggestions you may have.

Ideally the plan is to get the box really windy, and is more for SPL, not SQ.

Thanks!

You would be MUCH better off with a 1/4 wave enclosure if you have the room for all that shit you suggested ...

Just saying, best of luck brother !!!

Are you doing some research for Bose or something?

just a question but why do you want that type of enclosure? And you do reslize its going to be HUGE right?

Honestly? - Mainly just to try something a little different, I was going to Plexi-glass the front panel and make a bit of a display out of it too, so you can see the subs working as a Clamshell, and how to internals lay out with the chambers. Size wise - I wasn't entirely sure, hence popping the question on here :) But thank you for your response, much appreciated! :D

nice subs, just go ported

Yeah, love a good DD - They can usually take a hell of a lot more than rated and are built exceptionally well and perform great from what I've been told, heard and seen.

My main aim was to go for a nice fairly large Air Piston and get some air movement.

Ported may be an option for the simplicity - but, everybody does it! I want something a bit more challenging, 'extraordinary', and something that is going to produce good Low Frequency SPL figures.

You would be MUCH better off with a 1/4 wave enclosure if you have the room for all that shit you suggested ...

I did think of going down the 1/4 Line route, but again, it's not very often you see enclosures like the ones I want to aim at building.

But wasn't best clued up on them (especially Isobaric enclosures) so thought I'd pop on here to see the experts for some advice! ;) For a start, I wouldn't have a clue about how to go about calculating the air space/chamber volumes and ports for an Isobaric enclosure as above.

I'll have to keep you posted! :)

Funny you should mention that.. B)

Haha, nope - wouldn't mind it if I was though!

But thanks, I know my sanity was a big risk factor with a build like this like you say haha!

Probably doesn't help that it would be in a 'walled' application too, with a front-facing port so not an awful lot of cabin space left for the standing wave to actually build.

But simplicity may be an option if I don't think of something soon! :ph34r:

2cf LF chamber @ 25hz firing into an 8cf chamber @ 55hz loading into a 16cf chamber @ 42hz.

Get to work.

The 16cf chamber - could this essentially be the remaining cabin space? As I'd imagine the cabin space would be around 16cf? In which case.. :yahoo:

I'll tune in for an epic build...

Eek! No pressure then.. :lol:
