In Reply to: Ideal Parameters for OB Woofer posted by Joseph Cohen on February 3, 2007 at 12:28:05:
Assuming no EQ (active or passive):Qts needs to be relatively high (depending on relationship of Fs to baffle cutoff frequency)
Fs needs to be high enough so that the baffle can reinforce the resonant frequency to some extent
Must be robust enough to swamp out the baffle HP action

- Why would you assume no EQ for a 15" dipole bass driver? - Richard BassNut Greene 13:38:32 02/03/07 (10)
- Because if the Q is high enough and the baffle is big enough,you don't need it... - hitsware 14:05:34 02/03/07 (9)
- You suggest a 16 square foot baffle and a 2.0 Qts. driver ... so would still need another speaker for bass below 50Hz? - Richard BassNut Greene 14:37:14 02/03/07 (8)

- Let's consider a typical 20 x 15 x 8 room -- maybe you may be somewhat partially right about monopoles below 50Hz.! - Richard BassNut Greene 09:41:08 02/07/07 (0)
