RE: MY Open Baffle Dipole Sub Results

Yeah it took a while but I got them built and I spent a lot of time testing. I removed the two Outlaw subs. So these two are all that's running and I have set them up so they cross to the Magnepan 3.7/DWM left and right at 60 Hz through the XKItz active crossover ... one sub each for left and right. Bass management and LFE go to both subs through a mixer.

They sounded great at first, then after a couple weeks of breakin they sound even better.

Did you try them flat on the floor or against the side walls to extend the long baffle ?

With 6 drivers, you probably don't need the extra boundary gain.

  I did a ground plane test outside with it standing straight up and it was dead flat way below 20. So I laid it down and got about 2-3db gain. But since in the room I can actually hear the location left/right down to 30-40Hz I decided I really didn't need the extra gain. I have them 3ft from the side wall and 7 1/2ft from the front wall. But I have this extra wood baffle screwed to each 3.7 in the Rooze setup so the sub is against that baffle which gives it an extra foot of baffle length.
  
  With Dirac room correction they go down to 15Hz and play plenty loud for my room. I have the amp set at 14Hz extension, Hi damping and with the 10Hz rumble turned on.

    Pretty amazing that you can localize them that low in a listening room.
