Maximum added mass on Peerless PR?

[shawn_a]

I've looked and looked and I haven't found how much mass can safely be added to a Peerless 830481 passive radiator. Anyone here have an idea of the limit or any prior experience/disaster?

thanks

don't quote me on this, But the 12" was something like 1200grams. but for some reason 900 comes to mind. so i wouldn't go any more than that with the 10" passive.

That sounds reasonable. I'm going to send out a message to Tymphany to see what they say about it but I'm betting no more than a kilo which looks like I won't be exceeding anyway. Thanks.

Wow, you guys need to add mass to it? I've been trying to figure out how to make it lighter ;- ) For my application it (the 12" XLS PR) starts out with too much to begin with and I'm tuning for a 12" subwoofer.

I doodled around with this project quite awhile back and I decided to take another look at it for a possible winter project. This is what happens when I actually sell a speaker project. I still have some speakers to finish off but I want to do another sub. Don't need it really but I like building them.
