  • What is isobaric loading, and what happens when you mount woofers in series vs. parallel? Give me 7 minutes to explain.

    The presentation level on this is insane. When you darkened some fs parameters to show off how other ones are linked and when you overlayed the frequency response of the single sub with the series/parallel subs by using a dotted line for the contrasting subs. Good stuff, really appreciated.

    If I recall correctly, when I had *FOUR 12's* in an isobaric box (i.e., clam shell setup)... ...I hooked up both subwoofers inside the box with reverse polarity (i.e., positive to negative, and negative to positive) and the two subwoofers outside the box with normal polarity (i.e., positive to positive, and negative to negative) when bolting the subwoofers face to face (with a 3/4" wood ring in between the subs that I prefabbed myself) . In this configuration, they all worked together as a team and had a lot higher dB gain from 20Hz-60Hz running at 2ft³ per chamber for each pair (as it had a divider in the Dual 12" 4ft³ net volume box).

      Same for the guys over at Tech Ingredients - AMAZING content low sub count. Then I thought about it and...well, it's useful information presented in a clear manner with professional grade production quality. There is no clickbait, no gimmicks, no drama, no anime goofy faced thumbnails, no silly mindless crap like "what happens if we plug this driver into the wall socket?!!! Lets find out!" so low subs.
      It's why we pay people who play with a ball 10's of millions of dollars and someone devoting their life finding a cure for cancer maybe...MAYBE a hundred grand a year. Unfortunately people like us are in the minority. Most want someone jumping up and down like a gorilla around a rented Lambo chanting mindless words like "It's everyday bro...it's everyday bro"
      Also, while he has low sub count, he's getting a decent view counts and that's what matters in the end for $$$.

    Back in the 90's I had a Thunderbird with 8 kicker 8" iso. It had the low end of a 12" with the tightness of a 6" or 8" with plenty of volume. I was running 8 ohm subs all parallel off of a PPI pro mos 12. The box total was only 2.4 cf. Back then that was small and loud!! I loved building new boxes to try out. Learned a lot and if this channel was around then I would have saved a lot of headaches. Awesome job and thanks.

    You touched on something at 6:20 that I tried to search a while back when I started to design a smallish tapped horn. You stated: "...as long as the mounting depth of the drivers doesn't exceed the the internal clearance".
    One of the biggest concerns I had with my design was the lack of room the driver had around it. I wasn't able to find any info about how much is room is actually needed behind the driver, so I decided to change the design slightly to give it a tad more space.
    Most tapped horns I found online are huge and the driver sits almost at the mouth of the horn, many times in a steep angle and the mouth is huge as well, so it's hardly an issue.
    In my build, a 6,5" driver is around 50cm deep inside the horn. Width of the horn is pretty tight fit, at around 7" and there's not that much room between the magnet and the outer wall. Making it any smaller seemed ludicrous.
    I just got it finished (still need to paint it) and I have tested it briefly and it is quite something in a small flat :D Need to find the time to set it up properly.
    Anyways, I was wondering if you knew any limits or have ever come across issues with too tight clearance in a tapped horn? What would even happen if it was or can it be? I have hard time trying to thing what actually happens if it was. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
    Love the channel. Lot of really well laid out info!

    • @juststuff5216
      @juststuff5216 Před 5 lety

      The only two issues as far as I know (i'm still learning) are that T/S parameters are not a constant, and they change with different atmospheric conditions. Also, I don't know how solid a *Rule Of Thumb* of ...
      ported under 0.5
      sealed 0.5 0 - whatever
      IB - over 0.7
      ... is? This guy mounted his Dynaudio Esotar 1200 in an IB configuration, and they have a QTS of 0,34!
      www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/2064684-post523.html
      bit.ly/2U7Y3BA
      so ...
      Other than that, its a matter of; how accurate the manufactures published parameters are. Some are Ok, whilst other can be wildly off. worst example I saw was the JL Audio ZR800 CW 8" midbass (no longer in production) had/has a published QTS of 0.662, but yet the actual parameter was around than double that.
      www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-reviews-product-comparisons/173556-jl-audio-zr800-cw-8-midbass-objective-review.html
      With that being said, I think its important not to focus on a singular parameter like QTS or Xmax, at the expense of any and all other parameters.
      Anyway ... no doubt Pete will correct any false assertions 😭
