I just purchased a pair of LE14a drivers and want to build a bass bin.
I chose this driver for a few reasons: first I have a pair of L222 Disco’s that I really enjoy. But, the previous owner had new foam surrounds installed and they glued them on the outside of the cones, which really bugs me. I may swap the LE14h out and install the new ones there instead. Secondly, it looks from the enclosure guide that the LE14s perform better in a smaller box than some of the 15s, which is important to my wife.
The question I have is what are the sound differences between a ported enclosure and a passive radiator system like in the L222? I have added mass to the PR15 to make it more like the L220, and like what I hear.
The goal is a three way system bi-amped with an active crossover at about 800hz with these for the low end, I am finishing up some 1200hz smith horns from another thread and have some 2470 drivers I plan on using with some yet to be determined tweeter.
