Constructie SubWoofer

This design is a single fold transmission line using a 330mm (12") Audax driver (HD 33 S 66). The port loads out the back. Very little stuffing is used. It as a SubWoofer in a Home Theater System with an active 4th order low pass at 70 Hz. Since the cross-over is low, upper resonnances ( > 150 Hz ) are not a big problem. This line is not optimized for higher crossover frequencies. Results: From 50 Hz to 100 Hz driver and terminus are in phase (+/-10°) The - 3dB point is near 45 Hz At the Fr of the line (40 Hz) driver and terminus are 90° out of phase Below 40 Hz they are out of phase The stuffing could have be better optimised, reducing the effect of the null at 140 Hz. If I were to do it again I'd make the terminus a bit larger. (or use the line for a 10"/ed) Since originally putting this project together more stuffing has been added making this a true TL. The preliminary results are that the stuffing improves the performance of the speaker. (details as they become available/ed)
