Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:
Yikes indeed!!! :eek:
To get to 2.4KHz, a more capable woofer seems to be in order. Trying to get that one to reach that high seems doubtful. Even with the massive peaking you attempted with the transfer function doesn't push it high enough.
Perhaps the ScanSpeak Discovery 22W might do the trick.

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:
I'd just scrap the idea of using that WG. I've seen smoother responses from an Eminence coax and that Selenium. I wonder how those small PE WGs would perform......... One small WG that has been shown to have good performance is the 6" one from MCM. Might be worth checking out.

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:
What we need is a WG that has loading to 1KHz . . . ;)

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:
1) Removed the grille blocks, and there was no measurable difference.
2) Tried crossing at 1.8 kHz with my "First Try" highpass - not high enough.
3) Installed XT120 w/bolt-on D220Ti - plays a bit lower, but not low enough.
4) Tried the 18-Sound HD125 driver it was made for - about the same
5) Tried B&C DE-10 - best of those; close, but still not good enough:
6) JBL 8" PT waveguide, presently in AR4x, looks like it'll get where we need to be:
I'll load it in for a restart.
Footnote: Stock crossover has no lowpass; they ran it full range, wart and all.
[Maybe it didn't have a wart originally.... ;) ]Last edited by Zilch; 06-04-2010, 06:35 PM.

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:
The Lambda TD10 series is likely to behave just like the TD12, with wider dispersion and smooth response.
I've got my eye on an upcoming project using a modified 122i waveguide profile to load the RS28F paired with the TD10S.
Should make for a heck of a two-way.
Im going to be mating a waveguide with the SB29. Im waiting for the SB29/waveguide prototype from Mayhem.
I have many TD series woofers already in use so Im a HUGE fan. Best drivers I have owned. The new 6.5" TD series are out now too.
