Post Subject: Macondo's driver alignment with stringPosted by I.M.Distortion on: 4/2/2008
Use a ladder tye end of string put other end threw the horn you use for 1000Hz take off driver, measure front of driver to poll piece, that is were the diaphragm mounts to. add that to your measurement and that is were you put the tape. Then with the string go to all drivers and woofers and use that distance on the string. A for instance, if your woofers were horn loaded in your enclosure go to the exit of the enclosure and put your string threw it to the back plate behind the cone, for time alignment then sound will hit your ear the same time as the HF horn's But as you say if the horn is off axis time alignment will have to go around the horn and will take longer to hit your ear so with this problem time alignment cannot be achieved.
