Really great build sir, I wanted to build the same, please suggest that what are the ideal box dimensions if we use the w6 1139sf TB sub, and also port size? Waiting for reply.

@nukularpictures 7 жыл бұрын

One suggestion. Since you are selling those plans, how about you messure the frequency response of the speakers. The 44 Hz - 20000 Hz (-3dB) doesnt really give out any information. Knowing the frs 8 i can say that especially the high frequencies are not that clean and since its a broadband speaker the directionality wont be that nice either. Also it would be nice if you could record the speakers a bit louder. I would guess that the port would give you some noises. I really like the design but i would like to know the sound of the speakers before i would start to build them.

@SoundBlab 7 жыл бұрын

Check out the sound test clip of this build here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psV3fMKV3JqVp30.html I will do a FQ response soon when I get some time and upload to my website. The port does produce some noise when pushed to the limits, but it was intentional to achieve an ideal enough enclosure size, not too big. The design of this speaker was really to make something that will produce good sound at moderate listening levels. Not really a party boombox, and by the time you pump up the volume too far, the full range drivers will start to scream a bit, but that is mostly due to the bluetooth limitations of the amplifier.

I know that subwoofer driver, it can move absolute heaps of air so I see no way that thin slot-port will every be able to handle it

@SoundBlab 7 жыл бұрын

Good observation. The port is somewhat of a compromise to allow a reasonable enclosure volume. When driven to very high volumes it will make a noise, but at normal listening levels, which I am intending this to be mostly used at it works fine.

@PA5cAl1 7 жыл бұрын

That makes sense, there's always gonna be some compromise, the enclosure would otherwise become unwieldy big. I really like the cantilever design btw

Hey dude! nice video! I am planing to build a speaker by myself soon, and I wonder if it this speaker that i'm gonna build. I have a question: Is the speaker showing a nice clear volume? And what is the best speaker to play music (in a 50 sq meter room) If I wanna build a speaker with the clearest sound by your builds or knowledge?

@SoundBlab 7 жыл бұрын

+AndreasChristensen#DK Thanks! This speaker will be fine for that size room. Just one thing, this design is more suited to listening to music at moderate volume and not a party boombox, although it can go very loud. The port will make some noise at very high volume, but it was designed that way as 3/4 volume is loud enough for most occasions. If I had to illiminate the port noise, the enclosure would be much much bigger. So it was a compromise.
