Ideally I want to play 20Hz square-wave and it will still look as a square-wave when I measure it with a good microphone. My first approach was that a horn loudspeaker would be...

    I am downsizing my HT from an 18" to a 12 ( maybe 2 12's ) TBD. But based on a single 12 in what i would say more resembles a bedroom HY than a true HT, what is the best box? 90% HT, and of that 90% is just watching TV. So i am looking for something to anchor my swan 6.1's. My main question is...

    As far as materials, aren't they the same? If there were a place for a plate amp, wouldn't that be the same? This makes the big assumption the box has the correct cubic feet, but most were about 3^3ft that I saw. There are many out there, and some are pretty cheap used. Is the only difference...

    I have read so much I can't figure it out. I have Winisd, and I enter all the stuff. I see the box it suggests, but then I look at real projects and none of the enclosures look like what Winisd or any of the plans online look like. Finally, I keep reading about making a 2-4^3 box. Can I just...
