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.Clayton

- how do Audio Artistry and Energy get around this problem? They use active EQ's..... (nt) - Thorsten 04:37:35 07/06/99 (4)
- Which means a driver with Qms above 7, and a large value cap in series.(nt) - Clayton Oxendine 08:38:08 07/06/99 (3)
- Nope, certainly not AA and neither Gradient or Celestion do it this way.... - Thorsten 08:50:45 07/06/99 (2)
