Re: RL-p15 Passive Radiator Design


The only other filters I'm using are on the amps. They are pro audio amps and don't have the options normally found on sub-mounted plate amps. I've got the low pass filters set at 30 hz to prevent overexcursion due to transient signals. (My options are 50 & 30 hz) Now that I've reduced the wattage from 1450 watts per driver at 4 ohms down to 800 to 900 watts with an 8 ohm load for both drivers in each cabinet, I may even turn them off.

After listening to a few more good movies and DVD concerts, I'm so pleased with the final results that I'm going to leave the current passives in there and enjoy what I've got. I've got so much clean bass and high SPL, it would be foolish to keep spending money on them. It's like a drug habit....once you get a taste, you just want more and more. There is a time to stop and appreciate what you really have.

I want to start on some custom surrounds to run in parallel with my in-ceiling Polk RC85-I's and have some left over drivers to start the project, so it's time to move on.
