      Small sealed subs are actually quite easy to assess, ie., essentially, how much linear stroke is it capable of?
      Then choose an appropriate amplifier to achieve the desired drive levels.
      Small sealed;
      higher power > lower power
      Also ...
      The listening room 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙨 the sub's response.
      Setup is vital. The sub's position, the listener location, proper blending in both freq and time domain.
      Sure, it'd be cool to see Erin put anything thru it's paces ...
      However, small sealed platforms can be predictably assessed simply by calculations.

    what a fun build, and cheap too :)
    i build a few myself, and had some 2500 dollar monitor audio active subwoofers. i do like subwoofers a lot.
    Some Dayton audio drivers are on my wish list, current room is tiny so i had to go with shallow subwoofer drivers from SB Acoustics, only 6.5" deep boxes and 10" drivers.
    i do like my dsp, so hard for me to recommend getting that, even tho i liked my results back when it dsp was not common.
    some kind of minidsp product perhaps, flex or SHD series, then you get full dsp for whole system and just add amps, or dac's if you get the fully digital ones.

      You're right!
      TC Sounds classic ferrite LMS5400, and the neo 5100.
      LF driver tech really hasn't advanced a great deal since then ... but there's a few exciting things out there.
      Purifi's LF drivers are notable for their surrounds, etc.
      In pro sound, Powersoft's 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙩 sub drivers are trying to push the state of the art. My fellow FOH Dave Rat builds them into his 30" SuperSubs he debuted at Coachella a decade ago.
      Tom Danley had electric motor driven servo subs +30yrs ago! (Michael Jackson/others toured with them)
      It seems everything tends to gravitate back to optimizing the traditional motor designs that have been around forever.

    I just recently found your channel and I'm really excited to hear and learn about the world of DIY. I found all the parts from your links for the open baffle from LaDolce. With these subwoofers, is everything available through parts express except the crown amp? I didn't catch where the subwoofer enclosure came from if you wanted it precut. Thanks

    • @abxaudiophiles
      @abxaudiophiles  5 місяців тому

      Awesome stuff!! So for the subwoofer we have a full PDF available for the basic info and stuff. If you want it pre cut and shipped like I did, it’s about $300 per sub. If you jump in the discord you can order direct from the designer Matt who makes them. These subs are custom design and not off the shelf enclosures. You can also email through our website and I can get you in touch. Discord is the best as you can speak to all of us in real time. Basically all the parts are available online from multiple sources, so just pick the one that is best for you. 😊😊👏🏼👏🏼. Cool stuff and looking forward to your progress.

    Awesome video! I love that you guys are doing this on your channel/in your community. I really hope you continue to put out diy audio goodies, maybe an amp can be next since you have so many knowledgeable people in your circle.
    I haven't had a chance to check out the discord yet so maybe it was discussed there, but how come you guys didn't go with an open baffle subwoofer design? That would've integrated perfect with the open baffle speakers you guys designed. They'd be easier to diy, (although you guys came up with a very simple, very potent sealed design) and would blend even better with your speakers. And the price could've been kept under $500 as well.

      - Dirac shapes the response of the system to the room.
      - The amplifier's DSP is used to shape the sub's response for the enclosure, etc., regardless of the room.
      Actually a good question, one that's oftentimes misunderstood.
      Amp's DSP is for the design.
      Dirac is for it's use.
