Re: ME2

204.136.184.34

If you are building the ME2, review the box design using the equations in the Speaker Design Cookbook. You will find that the box has too little volume for the Bessel 4th-order alignment that the designer is trying to achieve. Put the design parameters into some speaker design software, and you will find that the boxes are predicted to have very little bass. The fix is to replace the diagonal braces with some simple shelf braces to give more volume, or to drill holes in the diagonal braces, so that the volume behind them is active. The vents need to be modified as well. I built ME2's with these corrections, and am very happy with them. I wouldn't even consider building the ME2 cabinets now.

Happy Building,

TC
