    Remarkable. This is stuff no books on enclosure design cover in terms of catagorizing the T/S parameters, and it makes you realize how complex and interrelated the mechanical aspects of a speaker are with the box in goes into, to put it simply. It would be great if HexiBase would write a book, or graduated course, on box design, speaker selection, and tuning - it would be fantastic. In terms of the videos, my only suggestion to HexiBase is this: being atuned (no pun intended) to music and audio (I'm a musician and engineer), the level of the background track tends to get in the way just a bit; A lower level would be nice. I've subscribed.

  • @jonjonr6
    @jonjonr6 Před 5 lety +4

    This is an excellent video.
    So many parameters explained in way to understand terms. Vas is highly misunderstood.
    But what I don't understand is why subs with lower damping characteristics are more suitable for infinite baffle, where I would expect a driver with higher damping would be necessary, since there's no enclosure to provide any additional damping.

    • @Grommet2007
      @Grommet2007 Před 5 lety

      It may seem counterintuitive, but damping actually goes ***down*** ("Qb" goes up) when you you put a driver in a sealed enclosure. The larger the box size, the higher the driver's Qts needs to be to achieve a particular Qb, e.g. Qb=0.7. At infinite-baffle (i.e. box size=infinity), Qb is basically the same as the driver's Qts.

    @martyjewell5683 Před 4 lety

    Most of this is waaaaay over my head. I do "get" the T/S basics. In 1978 my first T/S experience occurred. I purchased hifi speakers from Ohm Acoustics located (like me) in Brooklyn on Taaffe Pl. if I recall correctly. My model L speakers were said to utilize the T/S theory. Something to do with juggling the woofer, box (cabinet) size and "venting". All I know is that my 20X12X10" speakers played really freakin' loud (and clean) and were the equal of systems much larger, more expensive and heavier. With enough output to impress if not annoy the neighbors. In my tiny ($95 a month) studio apartment space was a premium. I think Ohm Acoustics and Electro-Voice were among the first companies to take advantage of this theory. I've had these Ohm L's forty one years and still find them very satisfying, excellent reproducers of sound. Just my un-technical view.

    YES! I've been on a quest to understand these parameters lately. I'm an electrical engineer so the math should'nt be hard, but it isn't intuitive. Well I haven't found a good, yet simplified explanation of this. Great video!
    Please go into more detail about each parameter and what changed to these parameters mean on enclosure, and sound tradeoffs.
    Ex: I want the best SQ 10" sub. But I also wasn't low end extension without willing to go ported. I want to understand the ts parameters enough to know the trade offs.
    So far my choice (without any regard to cost) would be a JL 10W7AE in their sealed box. Cost = $1k.
