In Reply to: You suggest a 16 square foot baffle and a 2.0 Qts. driver ... so would still need another speaker for bass below 50Hz? posted by Richard BassNut Greene on February 3, 2007 at 14:37:14:
>Who wants to have a 16 square foot baffle x 2Yes. Pretty big. Options are foldback 'wings' or both
channels on 1 baffle.>Who wants to use a 2.0 Qts. driver?
Me. Any higher and ripple starts to manifest,
but for OB a Q of ~2 is optimum for bass/size>And would a 2.0 Qts driver on a 16 square foot
>open baffle really provide a flat frequency

Freddyi did a SPL graph of the same
system (big baffle in the pic)
that agrees.>But then you'd still need to add a monopole

>advantage over monopole speakers?I can live with 50Hz myself. Even down to 100Hz OB with
a sealed 'helper woofer' is better than the box colorations
inherent with monopoles. (IMO).........:)
