Re: Subwoofer Tests Round 5, 6th of October 2007, Test Summary ***READ ME***


I'm considering the SDX15 and am trying to understand the peak at 40Hz.

CSS claim on their website that a 100 litre box should be maximally flat. And indeed when I input the parameters into Unibox it agrees. However Ilkka's test results show a decided peak of 3 dB at 40 Hz.

So a question for you experts...why would this discrepancy exist and what is it's significance? It seems it would take a MUCH larger box to actually produce a flat response (if indeed it could be done). Add room gain to that curve and I'm not sure it looks particularly good.
