    12", 15", 18"... don't know where to start

    I doubt that the tumult would exhibit increase many Db over a tempest because it has almost the same efficiency and only 3db more power handling(approx) The only good part would be a light wallet and low distortion :) Personaly i find 120db rather good.Attaining this spl down to 30hz is...

    Subwoofer box tuning?

    http://www.diysubwoofers.org/sbc/ http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/magic/index.html To get the best out a driver the t/s specs must be known. Most PRO 18"s are not meant for HIFI lows and wont have high xmax. you COULD just throw it into a box of known tuning,but how it reacts ,is...

    Anyone tuned a DIY sub in the 24-25hz range?

    1)Its a matter of choice -15hz maynot be a priority. 2)Its a matter of response of the speaker,what happens when you tune it higher You may notice with the (for example)shiva,tempest that tuning higher produces a peak in the midbass. This is due to the t/s specifications...

    Where on winisd do i check for xmax?

    [SIZE=2]point 1 if xmax directly was related to THD,then why is it defined by % of BL or kms not THD @ mm excursion... Does 70% BL on one woofer, and 70% BL on another,have equal THD at that point/?? point 2 www.linkwitzlab.com 'thor' subwoofer see his measurements on the subwoofer...

    Where on winisd do i check for xmax?

    Hold up Woofers seem to distort differently even with similar xmaxes'' Xmax is the smaller of Xmag and Xsus, and that is where its 70% of BL or 70% of suspension linearity that speaks NOTHING directly, of what the speaker distortion output is! look at mfk-projects.com the woofers...

    Help understanding WinISD

    i designd my box with winisd pro. a mate compared it to his spreadsheets based on diysubwoofers.org spreadsheet. Very similar results. its tuned within 1hz predicted Cheers!

    Where on winisd do i check for xmax?

    Dont forget,you dont HAVE to use every mm of excursion as every mm you go,will be more distortion. Also the suspension will be less linear moving further. thats if your looking for low distortion..for HT its not so critical :)

    Convince me I need bracing for a Mid Q Tempest box........

    You are basing your Question,on your experience,which is that your box doesnt flex while inputting alot of power(incar) my experience is,my 18mm MDF 175L box with lots of bracing in it(vertical and horizontal cross members + a big shelf port), with 10watts,flexes! can feel it easily. I...

    want to put a pioneer TS_W305C in a sealed box ?

    sealed -3db at 70hz waste of time.unless you want quiet bass ported- 28L tuned to 40hz is much better! one 4in port 18in long or 50L tuned to 33hz 1x4in port 14.7inches long.. approximately. :emoji_thumbsup: :)

    Shiva, 142.5L, and 21hz - Completed

    dpl12 can be used in ported box.i would prefer it ported the epb is for sealed BUT youl want PRs i dont see the port i want,fitting in its only 84db efficient also.. the DPL12 is supposed to be more cleaner,and according to mfk-projects.com too.. cheers Mike
