I so wanted this thread to be about weighing speakers.Leave a comment:

Never tried it, but I'd think you could cut the sonotube at 45 degrees and glue it back together so the woofer faces forward in a short section, instead...Leave a comment:

I'd begin by seeing if Mackie had a service PDF available with a schematic and assembly diagram.Leave a comment:

Fiberglass is hard to beat for low frequency damping.Leave a comment:

Fiberglass batting was used historically, like in the old Dynaco A25s. These days I'd try waste cotton insulation like Ultra-Touch.Leave a comment:

I think it's a case-by-case basis whether multiple smaller woofers of the same effective cone area can effectively replace a larger woofer. I needed a...Leave a comment:

It tells you the frequency of resonance, but whether it's audible or not is a different question. Rear or bottom ports do tend to minimize that sort of...Leave a comment:

Understood that PRs aren't cheap. You can of course use elbows to get a longer port, but like you mentioned the port resonance might become a problem....Leave a comment:

I'm not a PR expert, but you should be able to add weight to the PR and get the F3 down where you need it.Leave a comment:

As I recall, the Pro version of WinISD shows the port resonant frequency. If the correct diameter port is just too long, can you use a passive radiat...Leave a comment:

Two comments. The phasing of an MTM is usually designed so that the Z offsets work out with the listener (at least) several feet away from the speaker....Leave a comment:

I'll comment, you can get useful vertical directivity by stacking small woofers. You can get a similar effect by using a fairly shallow crossover between...Leave a comment:

Did you try looking at subwoofers, too? Despite being called subwoofers, some are useful to a surprisingly high frequency.Leave a comment:

I guess you mean up to a few hundred Hz? I'd try right outside the tweeter dome, as near the woofer cone as possible.Leave a comment:

If they're vintage, they may need new caps and even new woofer surrounds to sound their best....Leave a comment:

Very compact subwoofers are the natural home for PRs.Leave a comment:

Sure. When the port gets excessively long, a PR is a solution....Leave a comment:
