I have some SS 18w/8545K woofers, and I'd like to try an experiment or two or three with them.
First off, lots of people seem to say they sound good in a good ol' 15L vented box, so I may try that first. The F3 is simmed somewhere around 45 Hz, but it varies depending on what software you ask. Knowing Scan Speak, although that's not "wall-shaking" extension, I imagine the bass is still very excellent nonetheless.
But I was browsing Troels' website and came across a suggestion of using a similar SS woofer in a transmission line. This dropped the F3 about 15 Hz!
I'll be the first to admit I know very little about Transmission Lines. But I've heard enough of Paul's designs (and looked at the CAD drawings) to know that the sound of a Mass-Loaded transmission line does have a very musical, natural quality, and they also don't seem like much extra work to construct, compared to just a regular vented box.
So Paul, since you are pretty much the only one I know of who can work that crazy math cad software, is it possible to get a MLTL design using this woofer? Can you help me out?
Thanks very much!
