Hey guys,
I'm trying to iron out the details of my next IB build. Shortly after we moved I sold off my previous system planning to use the funds towards my new build, well, life happened and it did not work out that way... back to the drawing board.
I had planned on doing a 4 driver manifold. This past weekend I had to get up in the attic and went to the spot where the box will go... I'm not sure a manifold will be doable after all.
I still want to run 4 drivers. I plan to buy 2 soon and then 2 more down the road ( after the holidays)
What would happen if I invert 1 driver, meaning, the one driver would have the cone facing the room, the other driver would have it's backside facing the room. WOuld I still get the mechanical cancellation as I would with an manifold? The way I see it, the driver is about 8" top to bottom so by the time you figure in the width of the joist plus 2 ( or even 3) sheets of MDF / Ply etc it should be up enough that I don't have a magnet peeking through my ceiling. I plan to use an air return cover to hide the drivers.
After having had an IB I don't know that I can really be happy with a box sub again... My wife thinks I'm crazy for wanting to cut a hole in the ceiling and she hated the old IB. The movie The Mist literally made her cry, that organ music got SO low... she could not handle it :yikes: but when it was normal level music / movies she commented on how much cleaner and clear it sounded.
