Re: Help Constructing Dipole Speaker

Not going to work with the baffle width you want. I have been doing research on the subject because I have a friend who is has some ML's and wants a dipole sub with them. It is going to take a baffle width of at least 4 or 5' to get any usable bass at all. I have talked with some people who have done this and it take a lot of drivers and a wide baffle just to get close to 35 Hz. There is an AES paper on diopole subs which is basically what you are doing. I don't remember the paper name, but you can do a search using dipole sub to find it. Good luck because what you want to do is going to be very difficult to achieve. I don't think you are going to come anywhere close to 20 Hz.
