Greeting Friends,
It has been awhile since I've built speakers and am having the itch to do so. I'm thinking this time using the LE-10A coupled to the PR-10. I've always used the larger JBL speakers 15" and 18". I have built horn loaded boxes, sealed, and everything in between. I have "never" been interested in passive radiators, but I think it is time to explore the possibility's. It is new to me and I like that. You only live once...
What I have in mind is 4 le-10a's coupled to 4 pr-10's per cabinet, with 2 cabinets being built. I will be separating each le/pr pair within the cabinets. I can't find any information on the LE-10a's frequency response or sound pressure level, I do have the thiel and smalls. I would like to see if I could get a usable response down to 30 cycles or there bouts'. I'm not certain on cabinet interior volume for this, or even it it can be accomplished. I am thinking around 2 -2.5 cu.ft. per section. Without ports, horns, or both I am not certain with passive radiators. It's all new to me and that is why I would like to see if I could pull it of.
Any comments or advice would be appreciated. Note: These cabinets will be crossed at 250 cycles. They will be L.F. enclosures. I'm hoping (with the all the total cone area) to create a pair of giant killers, or at least something that might keep up with my JBL 4350 low freq. sections.
Thanks, Tom :)
