Re: Got drivers & amp, need suitable proven box design


Chances are that 6db of boost at 35hz isn't doing you any favors. That boost is usually created by a high Q rumble filter. With such a high boost, chances are the rolloff, usually 2nd order, starts pretty close to 35hz so in addition to the natural rolloff of the driver/PRs, you've got the amp working against you as well.

Your design sounds very much like another members Peerless build that was discussed recently. However, your driver T/S parms don't quite match...wondering if you could have used the wrong Peerless XLS driver...from memory, it seems like there were quite a few variations when I trying to find the specs to model the version he was using.
