In Reply to: RE: Bass reflex with port on the front or on the back ... any difference ? posted by Inmate51 on December 09, 2014 at 08:42:43
Hi !
yes of course ... one for side
I have some principle
1) no common speakers between L and R. To keep them the more separate as possible
2) to give to L and R signal the same "treatment". For instance i like the mono amps perfectly identical, speakers perfectly identical ... mirroring speakers leave me uncomfortable.
So yes one identical satellite and one identical bass for each channel.
But the real question is ... should be better 100 or 200 Hz ?
Most of high end designs are in between.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

It depends upon the specific speakers. Although, I'd prefer to keep it on the lower end, thinking about not putting a crossover in the middle of the trombone range. Trombone players need all the help they can get.

Hi and thanks for your valuable reply
Just to be sure to understand rightly, you mean 100 Hz ?
Seriously i am convinced that the statement of 4 ways minimum to cover rightly the all audio spectrum, with conventional drivers, is very right
So a 3 ways is always a compromise
But i am always wondering about the best solution for midrange range
I know, for instance, of speakers with exceptional sound relying on big dome midrange crossed with the woofer at around 5-600 Hz
And i could think to build a satellite with a dome mid and tweeter.
It would be also nicely compact.
Then i see instead many high end designers preferring a big cone midrange
But usually crossed at around 120-150 Hz
To get the mid down to 100 i need a very robust driver, like a good 8"
I guess that at 100Hz the signal is still very powerful
Last thing i would want is distortion in the lower midrange
As i said this is a fundamental design choice
I think i will go with a bigger satellite in the end and cut it at 100 Hz as you recommend
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
