I don't have the equipment, unfortunately. But they do hit quite low in the 40hz region, going by my other speakers. They are very openbaffle sounding in the low range, ie they don't load the room, but the bass is super tight and fast.
So I have 15 foot by 7 foot 2 inch thick super light but extremely sturdy insulation boards that I want to slap some exciters on so bad… mainly because I put one on a much smaller piece and the thing actually thumped.. I was shocked
@@julieheard3797 pretty much lmao. Theyre made for insulating warehouses. I have dozens of them sitting in my barn. I feel like I’d need at least 3 of the big Dayton quad exciters. I just finished my first pair this morning using 46 inch square xps. They sound fantastic and I haven’t even braced them yet. Nor treated the outside with pva glue like many people recommend.
@@julieheard3797 I just hooked a cheap 8 inch sub to the receiver and two small rears and my god… I just sat in my garage for 3 hours. It’s insane how far away but personal they sound. This is going to become a costly hobby. At least Dayton has the universal exciter mount thing so it will be less $$ to test. And thanks! I appreciate the info. Should I be securing the speaker wire above the exciter, relieving some of the weight pulling down on it? I noticed the top of the exciter is noticeably further away from the panel compared to the bottom. And gently leveling it out produces a closer sounding, sound stage.

Im doing my senior project for mechanical engineering in dml panels, I would love if you could elaborate more on this build
Check out the build on the DML flat panel Facebook group.
I want to do a 4x8' DML and see how low it can go.. the 1/4 wave theory says it can do about 35hz
I'd be interested to hear how you got on, what material are you going to use?

Love the Brian Bromberg! Did you do any measurements on the frequency response?

15 feet by 7 😮 that's a wall isn't it, I don't know how you implement a panel of that size .

@@LikelyLagging try coating them with a quality wallpaper instead, it takes away the slight plasticity sound.

Try listening to some of the band “Morphine” on there :)
I have 😉
How did you do it?
