Triticum Agricolam Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Here I am sitting here twitching for a video Soon, I still have some work to do and need to get some more gasket tape before I start putting the watts to it. At least its starting to look a little more complete. I trimmed up all the edges: Here it is with the access cover temporarily in place: "Nothing prevents people from knowing the truth more than the belief they already know it.""Making bass is easy, making music is the hard part."Builds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Pl also goes brittle and starts falling apart after a couple years. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

TaylorFade Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Pl also goes brittle and starts falling apart after a couple years. It's also disgusting and makes me gag. Titebond ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Well I got this thing finished up today. Here are a few more pics: I'm working on uploading a video. I'll post the link as soon as it gets done uploading.

Triticum Agricolam Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 So here is the video, let me warn you that recording videos isn't really my thing, so adjust your expectations accordingly: https://youtu.be/Thye25Iieno The video not very impressive to hear, I only have the sub hooked up and its low-passed at 100 Hz, the song I was playing has its bass note at about 31 hz, which my pathetic iphone camera mic doesn't pick up at all. Its pretty damn loud in real life, you just can't really tell by the video. I think I need to put a new battery in my AMM-1 too. The sub was getting around 130-150 watts, and that was at a frequency that is right in the middle of an impedance dip for the enclosure. I've got an experimental series tuned 6th-order bandpass box to build and then I'm going to haul everything outside for some ground plane measurements. I'm going to do some compare and contrast between a handful of different subs I've built and I'll be sure to post the results here for everyone to see.

Triticum Agricolam Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 You built this enclosure to be loud ?? I was kinda thinking this was more for accuracy in a 5.1 / 7.1 environment ... I built it to be efficient and accurate, kinda two sides to the same coin in this situation. Higher efficiency give me the same SPL on less power, less power means less driver excursion, and less excursion generally means less distortion.

I built it to be efficient and accurate, kinda two sides to the same coin in this situation. Higher efficiency give me the same SPL on less power, less power means less driver excursion, and less excursion generally means less distortion. Isn't that like the reasoning behind line arrays too? More speakers doing less work equals more efficient and less distortion?

Krakin Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Not the reason for most of them, they are used for acoustic dispersion patterns. Depending on the array you can "beam" sound to more specific location and farther distances with a less dB loss per doubling of distance than a conventional speaker. This allows for less wattage needed for a higher SPL at a farther distance, which is why they are so common in large venues. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
