    This is probably the best thing I've found on the internet in a long time.
    Exactly suited a problem I had.
    I was looking for an extremely small sub that fits under my computer desk and that delivers heavy nice bass even at low volumes.
    So I printed my own small two-channel speakers and this wonderful subwoofer.
    So now I have a compact 2.1 system that performs well with deep bass even at very low volume.
    So many thanks for sharing your design.

    Back in '95 I took some ADS 300i car speakers and added a half inch more material to a cabinet I found, (total 1" thick material) then turned it so the speakers were on the narrow side, & routed out the space for them to be inset. After starting to test, I had NO bass, because they were intended for car doors which aren't sealed. I did a port on the front and one on the back, used some plastic pipe for tuning, and lo and behold, they went down to 28 hz! The only problem was I couldn't go very loud because they would distort easily (they were from the 80's after all), but they worked great with a separate sub. Later I replaced the dome tweeters with Linaeum ribbon tweeters (they had a 2" dipole figure 8 configuration) that were routed into the top of the speakers. They actually had great presence with a wide open sound stage. They lacked a bit of mid bass, so I made the sub go a little higher in the x-over. I lucked out they sounded good. No computer, no test equipment; just lucky guesses.

      @Vibration_Crew 4 года назад +3

      MSH68 > The only small problem would be manufacturing time. 'Each side takes about 45hrs to complete' so thats 90hrs total print time. While I'm sure Part-Express may have access to larger, faster, print machines, like SLA, that may knock the total print time down considerably would they still be able to produce enough and at speed to match orders? What would the sellable price be after material costs/maintenance costs & time to print, especially compared to the price of the speaker.

      Old bose wave series have been there / done that. Great reviews, but priced themselves out of the market. Like 400$ for what was basically an am/FM alarm clock.
      That said, this style of enclosure is fairly inexpensive if made with an injection mold. It just comes down to sales scale to cover engineering and tooling costs. Enclosure would be roughly 10-15$ each if more than 50,000 units were produced.
      Now the focus for the key speaker and drivers are where the real price and sound quality differentiators are found. But I'm not going to speculate for this as there are way too many variables here.

      HexiBase - Particularly, this project’s high dynamics and efficiency had me thinking along the lines of a Celestion driver, such as a “Blue-Back” (Greenie or V30 as well).
      Why? I’ve demo’d a few “Full-Range” single driver alignments in my days. Was always left shocked at the faithfulness and linearity. *Even more so, the ‘Boutique’ price!* (less costs more, apparently ;-)
      Yes, these ‘cabs’ gave up the very tippy-top-end response. But for 2.0 listening, who really needs stretching above 7Khz?...
      Possibly ideas from deep left field....or perhaps not.

      There's a version available with a 15" bass driver in a 3-way setup. It's called the Klipschorn. The Bose Wave Radio is a tabletop version of the same idea. A number of speaker manufacturers have used this idea since the 1940's. That doesn't take anything away from what he's achieved here on his own. It's just not a "new" idea.

    This is actually my third time through this video. My day-to-day listening is done through a reasonably good, compact domestic stereo system which suffices well for casual listening and this cab sounded great through it. So this time I fired up my 'for realsies' rig which is an RME Babyface interface and a pair of Mackie HR824 MK2's and I was surprised even further. The really high RMS, compressed stuff turned to mush quickly but the stuff with the wider dynamic range was really impressive. So much so that I've started to have ideas of my own. Thanks.

    I listened using both a pair of KZ ZSR's (over APTX cable) and a pair of Koss Pro-4AA's. This is a big improvement over the earlier iteration. It does not ring quite so much and and sounds cleaner. I think this is because of less intermodulation distortion due to less ringing. If you can get that DSP to protect the driver from bottoming out and add a nice tweeter (perhaps one of the Dayton pleated ones) you would have a good prototype IMO.
    If you really want to kick it up a notch, perhaps a variable volume waveguide would allow lower tuning at low volume. No clue how to build or control that though, but however it might be done would most easily be figured out via 3d printing. My first idea would be to split the guide at the glue line and put a butterfly valve in one half.
