okay, so the question is, to insulate or not to insulate.... my box is 1.82^3(ported). that is what I wanted it to be. So I should not stuff it than? If I do the volume increases, that is not what I want right? What about the advantages it gives like absorbing higher frequencies, do I want it...
if it makes the box appear larger, would that not affect my calculaions to acheive the desired frequency. I made the box accordin to researching calculations and did not put insulation in mind, how much will it affect the outcome?
I am building my first sub, and after all my research and finally getting a volume, etc. I am having trouble with the port. Does anyone know a sure way to figure out what the dimensions of the port should be? I have tried a calculation in a book, and a few programs and spreadsheets. Everyone...
so i have spent all afternoon researching, playing with numbers, etc. and have come to a reasonable ( I think) calculation. 1.82 cubic feet which equals 3144.96 cubic inches a 12 " x 15" x 18.75 " (golden ratio included) enclosure equals 3375 cubic inches. I read up to a 20%...
Maybe this would be an easier way if anyone is willing to help. I will post my specs for the speakers and any experienced cabinet makers maybe can give me what their dimensons would be based on these. I am getting confused by different results I am getting and I have never attempted this...
okay so I just used winISD to input some driver information and got some results that maybe I need some help with. I received a 33.5 l volume for the design. the dimenisions are as follows: w - 0.363 m = 14.37 " h - 0.559 m - 22.09 " d - 0.232 m - 9.21 " can i minipulate these...
here are the specs and my mistake, I was using the 8" 4 ohm specs, but even now with these specs I get 20.41 cubic feet. That still sounds wrong. Thanks for everyones help. Vas34.510 Qts0.680 Qes0.760 fs33.3 Xmax9.40 Qms 6.76 Re 6.29ohms xmax 9.4mm
thanks for your advice, but I would really like to experiment with this driver for home use. Just an experiment of mine, but I am just thrown off by the dimensions i got from the spreadsheet.
they are for the mtx 6000 series. They are probably for car use, but was hoping to experiment with them as home use. I have all the specs if you need them. thanks
I am attempting to build my first enclosure for a 10" sub. I have dowloaded and tried some sealed and ported enclosure spreadsheets. I was wondering what is better, sealed or ported. I have read many who say sealed. Also when I do the calculations I get a result of .50 cubic feet for size. That...
Hi all, I am looking for any information sites , books, advice, etc) on building my own enclosures for 12" subs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mike
Hi all, Can somebody help me understand ohms and how they work in respect to speakers/amps. Have a 4 ohm subwoofer and a 8 ohm amplifier. What is the pro's/con's to hooking this up? Can I hook it up. Will it damage anything? Sorry I am new to this home theatre and I am trying to learn as I...
Thanks for the info, I did try and play with the service menu and yes it did not help my problems. There is some geometry settings but not the right ones. I don't know if I can bring back my television because it is over a year old. I just noticed the problem now, and I am not sure if it was...
it is a jvc d series 32" television. Thanks for you reply but I am not quite sure what you mean ny service menu. Forgive me but do you mean the regular menu? And the speakers are not shielded. Thanks Mike
Hi all, I have a prblem with my television. I have done some research and understand what happens when speakers are too close to a television set. Unfortunatley this has happened to myself. I was told that the speakers too close would cause some discoloration and degausing would solve the...
I have a great car sub that I am no longer using for my car, can I use it in my home theatre setup?Do I need to know anything specific or can I just put it in an enclosure and hook it up? It is a six ohm sub and I know that most home speakers are eight ohms. Will it damage the speaker if I hook...
