Positioning of ports and driver?
I have been using a speaker design program for my up coming speaker enclosure build. Although I am happy with the tuning and response figures it really says nothing about where in the enclosure to place the ports and driver.
Does it make a difference?
Front firing speaker, front firing ports .
How far to separate the driver from the ports. The driver and ports from the ends and sides of the cabinet. That sort of thing.
Is there reference material somewhere?
Also a question of material thickness....
I lean towards 1" mdf, but on a ported enclosure that is internally braced will it make much difference, other than the weight?
Would 3/4" work as well?
I am using WinISD
one JBL 2235H
8.657 cu ft
26.85 hz tune
Internal dimensions
17" w (driver/ports mounted on this side)
40" h
22" d
2 ports 4" ID 7.71" long giving .04 mach
This design dimension ratio(s) are sort of like the Klipsch KLF-10s I am using now except bigger.
The horn will be external (another project)
The design looks great on paper....
:confused:
