Post Subject: Actually…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/20/2017
Since Anthony
posted his post this morning I have been thinking about it. Ok, I have drivers,
If I pile 10 of them then I will have 88.7+9X1.4 = 101.2dB sensitivity. This always
is workable number more or less. I will get a lot of room gas with it. 5 enclosures
by 22” each would make 110” high I do have this high. I am thinking about 3.5
foot deep boxes, so it will be 12x22x42 with two drivers mounted in there. I
think I can find a builder who can do $100 per box that would make 1K
for boxes and including finishing, binding, damping it will be under 2K a complete
project . Not so pricy and it even might be elegant….
The questions that I have is would it be enough for my room?
Then, what would it do with my 60dB room mode. Those large arrays with
cylindrical waves do very good with room problem but there is absolutely no way
to tell anything until I have the monster in the room. Probably it would be good idea to pile up R
and L sides together and to run it only with one channel, this will give me
some idea if it might be enough…
The idea to use 2-4 15” drivers with 100dB sensitivity to
start with is a nice idea but any good drivers that I know and have some vintage
Altecs and Vitovax are resonant type drivers that do not go very low. They are basically
midbass drivers. For sure I can go for better JBLs but they we enter the ported
world and I am not sure if I would like to step in that pile of shit again.
Good, I miss my midbass horn….Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
