Re: With an open baffle, it's definitely not a bipole design

RBG,

You could be 100% correct that at subwoofer frequencies a bipole design (in phase drivers mounted on opposite sides of an enclosure) is essentially the same as a monopole design decause of the long wavelengths involved relative to the size of the enclosure.

What I was refering to when I said a Quadrupole is basically an OB Bipolar design was in reference to their electrical wiring scheme. As both are wired as + - - + the Quadrupole is in an electrical sense "essentially" an open baffle design of what a Bipole is in an Infinite Baffle design. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear on what I meant.

I do know and understand that they will interact with the room quite differently and in the strictest sense are actually quite different beasts.
