When it comes to selecting an enclosure type to get the best sound from your woofer and matching it to your taste in music, it can be a little confusing. The purpose of an enclosure is to improve bass response and prevent woofer damage from over-excursion. There are a few things you wi...
The tapped horn is a relatively obscure subwoofer arrangement, only recently brought to prominence by Tom Danley. A tapped horn is unlike other horns, in that it uses the radiation from both the front and rear of the driver, and combines them at the mouth. This allows for many possibilities...
Take the pattern for the top portion of the subwoofer enclosure. Use the frame of the grille of the subwoofer speaker and a pencil to trace the outer and inner portions of this. Do this on the location of the board where you would like to put in your speakers. Use the router with a ...
This helps if top-bottom dimension is large enough for standing wave to be a problem. For subwoofers, this is only required if enclosure is tall. For example a 1m tall enclosure will have a top-to-bottom standing wave of 178hz. See Boxnotes for calculating your own - it will also ...
100Hz and lower. It takes a very good 6.5" driver to produce a flat response down to 80Hz. Without it, you will either have a gap in the system response between your main speakers and your subwoofer or you sub will need to produce higher frequencies that can be perceived as directional...
Chief Designer, Bill Dudleston, tuning a pair of Aeris speakers Adjustments are then made until the two loudspeakers are as close as possible to the target response. Next we invert the polarity at one of the speaker inputs to test the summation null (quality of cancellation). Final adjustment...
Build a subwoofer. A third PWR-ICE125/250 amplifier can be used to power a subwoofer that will integrate into a complete DSP-controlled system. See the app note Building a DSP-controlled subwoofer with the PWR-ICE125. Linearize the phase of your complete system. This can be done with a...
Each speaker project includes complete drawings to illustrate construction of the speaker enclosure, crossover schematics, a full parts list and photographs of the finished speaker project. Shown in the photo to the left is the TriTrix MTM TL DIY speaker project. For those who are not great ...
Bandpass Designer, Sealed Designer and Vented Designer provide accurate theoretical solutions for subwoofer driver characteristics and attributes (Thiele Small) and box/enclosure parameters with an easy to use interface. There exists other calculations, not included in the software, because they arenotrequ...
