This is probably the best thing I've found on the internet in a long time. Exactly suited a problem I had. I was looking for an extremely small sub that fits under my computer desk and that delivers heavy nice bass even at low volumes. So I printed my own small two-channel speakers and this wonderful subwoofer. So now I have a compact 2.1 system that performs well with deep bass even at very low volume. So many thanks for sharing your design.

Back in '95 I took some ADS 300i car speakers and added a half inch more material to a cabinet I found, (total 1" thick material) then turned it so the speakers were on the narrow side, & routed out the space for them to be inset. After starting to test, I had NO bass, because they were intended for car doors which aren't sealed. I did a port on the front and one on the back, used some plastic pipe for tuning, and lo and behold, they went down to 28 hz! The only problem was I couldn't go very loud because they would distort easily (they were from the 80's after all), but they worked great with a separate sub. Later I replaced the dome tweeters with Linaeum ribbon tweeters (they had a 2" dipole figure 8 configuration) that were routed into the top of the speakers. They actually had great presence with a wide open sound stage. They lacked a bit of mid bass, so I made the sub go a little higher in the x-over. I lucked out they sounded good. No computer, no test equipment; just lucky guesses.

Would really like to see this. Maybe with a built in amp and lpf. But the enclosure is specifically tuned to the sub. Unless every subwoofer is manufactured with the exact same specs - which I don’t think they are - every box has to also be slightly tweaked and matched with a sub.

@Vibration_Crew 4 жыл бұрын

MSH68 > The only small problem would be manufacturing time. 'Each side takes about 45hrs to complete' so thats 90hrs total print time. While I'm sure Part-Express may have access to larger, faster, print machines, like SLA, that may knock the total print time down considerably would they still be able to produce enough and at speed to match orders? What would the sellable price be after material costs/maintenance costs & time to print, especially compared to the price of the speaker. They are very cool tho......

Old bose wave series have been there / done that. Great reviews, but priced themselves out of the market. Like 400$ for what was basically an am/FM alarm clock. That said, this style of enclosure is fairly inexpensive if made with an injection mold. It just comes down to sales scale to cover engineering and tooling costs. Enclosure would be roughly 10-15$ each if more than 50,000 units were produced. Now the focus for the key speaker and drivers are where the real price and sound quality differentiators are found. But I'm not going to speculate for this as there are way too many variables here.

HexiBase - Particularly, this project’s high dynamics and efficiency had me thinking along the lines of a Celestion driver, such as a “Blue-Back” (Greenie or V30 as well). Why? I’ve demo’d a few “Full-Range” single driver alignments in my days. Was always left shocked at the faithfulness and linearity. *Even more so, the ‘Boutique’ price!* (less costs more, apparently ;-) Yes, these ‘cabs’ gave up the very tippy-top-end response. But for 2.0 listening, who really needs stretching above 7Khz?... Possibly ideas from deep left field....or perhaps not.

I can't believe how much bass this 3" driver is putting out. It sounds incredible. I'm listening to this on my PC using my Monoprice Modern Retro headphones, powered via an FX-Audio DAC-X6. It sounds incredible. This would be amazing for under-seat car use. I'm trying to imagine two of these under the front seats. Such low wattage is required, one could probably use a super tiny amp in the glovebox or something.

You’re very articulate I appreciate it. You should experiment with large printer nozzles, .6mm or .8mm, to cut your print times potentially in half. These files do not have any features smaller than those nozzle dimensions so you will have no loss in print quality.

I listened using both a pair of KZ ZSR's (over APTX cable) and a pair of Koss Pro-4AA's. This is a big improvement over the earlier iteration. It does not ring quite so much and and sounds cleaner. I think this is because of less intermodulation distortion due to less ringing. If you can get that DSP to protect the driver from bottoming out and add a nice tweeter (perhaps one of the Dayton pleated ones) you would have a good prototype IMO. If you really want to kick it up a notch, perhaps a variable volume waveguide would allow lower tuning at low volume. No clue how to build or control that though, but however it might be done would most easily be figured out via 3d printing. My first idea would be to split the guide at the glue line and put a butterfly valve in one half.

@talonpilot 3 жыл бұрын

I’m sure it can be scaled, only limited by the size of the 3D printer you can get ahold of. It looked like his box was the same size as his tray, so its footprint couldn’t get bigger. I’m not sure if he could design it (acoustically) to fit it on that tray with a larger 6.5 or 8 inch.

MichiJim C and they are masters of marketing their products towards a certain group of customers that buy based on name recognition. Thats why the advertise in playboy and not in audiophile magazines. And they try to push the “easy use” of their stuff like the lifestyle systems that sound like garbage. Easiest way to sell Bose is to not play and demo the stuff. Its just to talk about the name. During all my years as selling and giving customers demos.... i never had a person like the Bose durning a listening test if I didn’t tell them what the product was that was playing

@@romank1099 you could probably make one tuned higher with a Waves MaxBass processor which would "fake" the low notes from harmonics if you wanted more SPL before exceeding cone excursion. The increased harmonic content would muddy the lower notes though, making it sound more like a bass guitar with the tone control at minimum.

But what I find strange, the cone surface area is 27cm2, but the transmition line cross-sectional area is closer to 17cm2. is there a reason why the design is less than the driver? or purely due to size constraints of the printer bed, you had to reduce the size?
