OK, so I've been toying with the idea of building a sealed subwoofer, to pair with a Zaph ZRT kit that I've recently purchased. I've already got several SoundSplinter RL-P15s at my disposal, so I'm gonna use them.
When I look at the SS website, these are recommended (optimally) in a 4.6 cu. foot box. However, when I model them, this is accomplished by assigning a QTC of .500. If I set QTC to .707, I get something more like 1.46 cu. ft - which seems impishly small.
Can someone please talk me through this? According to what little I know about T/S parameters, this sub, with a QTS of .333, is, in theory, better suited for a ported application. (I know that's a guideline, and not an absolute)
This is going to be mostly for general listening. I mean, if I wanted to blow the house down, in the space that I have available, I'd just go get the SVS SB16-Ultra. But I don't. I want something that's enjoyable all the way across the spectrum, but not just an obnoxious noisemaker.
Oh, yeah, and I'll probably end up building 2 of these.
Thanks in advance.
