gene's speakers - cabinet tuning, crossover and more!

[Mr. Widget]

So, at least insofar as BB6P analysis is concerned, and barring additional disclosures, Gene's boxes are well and appropriately designed.

I think that is being generous... I would agree that the volume and tuning seem to be appropriate now that additional info has come forward... however we know nothing of the design... I'd suggest it is still quite in question.

I'm just talking about them as bass boxes, of course.

These are 4-ways.

Best I can do to help further is to shut up now....

Inside measurements of the 2202 housing is 12 1/2 height- 12 1/2 wide and 8 1/2 deep

[Zilch]

Well, that changes the net internal volume of the main cabinets to 13.19 cuft., your present box tuning to 21.37 Hz, and the F3 to 42.14 Hz, as the exterior dimensions of the subenclosure are apparently 14 x 14 x 9.25".

You're still within 0.01 Hz of BB6P's 21.36 Hz recommended tuning for the main cabinets.

Others will likely be able to analyze the appropriateness of the subenclosure for you.

Sorry, guys... Optical fiber to the coast was taken-out by a muslide... We've been out for about 32-hrs. Land phone lines, Internet, 911 (clever, that!! ). Surprised they have us going at all.

aLL OF MY MEASUREMENTS CAME FROM THE COMPANY I PAIDTO HAVE THIS SPEAKER BUILT. 5- 5/6 INCH PORTS ARE NOT SOMETHING I CAME UP WITH. JUST LIKE YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR AND HE OR SHE TELLS YOU . YOU NEED TO HAVE SUCH AND SUCH DONE. I AM NOT A DOC , IF WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME DONT SOUND CRAZY I AM GOING TO TAKE THERE WORD. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING. THE ONLY INPUT I HAD IN MY SPEAKERS ARE THE BRAND NAME JBL AND THE DRIVERS. ITS A SIMPLE BOX DESIGN .SOME TIME WHEN YOU TAKE A PATH OR ROAD YOU NEVER BEEN DOWN BEFOR YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR. BUT LIKE ANY THING ELSE IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH GO FOR IT. SO THATS WHY I MADE A POST TO LANSING HERITAGE I BELIVE THESE GUYS ARE NOT ONLY SMART BUT KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND I BELIVE THEY PUT AS MUCH INPUT HELPING OTHERS WITH THERE CUSTOM JBL SPEAKER AS THEY WOULD THERE OWN
