The effect of the box on tuning mid-bass...

Posted by Audiopolous (A) on August 9, 2003 at 12:00:17

Hey all,
I just finished my first, ground-up, high end set of speakers. Sucuessful meaning cost was less that $600 and sound is more than $5000.

After 2 weeks of hard core messing with different types of filling, I settled on just traditional dacron. 100g's each for a .5ft3 box. The box has a 2" MDF front baffel, a dado brace in the middle and 1" top,bottom,sides,back. VERY SOLID BOX. Howeveer, upon playing a piano the other day I got thinking about the box acting like a sounding board. Mabye using less filling and a wood that is not quite as hard and thick (insert innuendo here) to improve overall "warmpth" in the mid-bass aera. I get the feeling this is asking for muddiness, but is there any...well sheerly artisn views on these effects?
Share the thoughts and happy listening.
