Well, without commenting on the neutrality of your sources, if you flog political stuff here, you will get in trouble. -
Steve, maybe California does go too far with some regulations. But Bill is right, this problem isn't that complicated.Leave a comment:

Yeah, stuffing a vented cab is kind of a new thing. Probably featured on some YouTube video....Leave a comment:

The only time I'd stuff a reflex box is when I was stuck with a very non-optimum design in a small box. Then it can help tame a midbass hump. On the other...Leave a comment:

Over stuffing a vented or PR enclosure will decrease port output. As long as you are willing to live with that, maybe you'll like it. Seems pointless...Leave a comment:

JBL has a history of making serious drivers. Even when I was a kid I drooled over their woofers....Leave a comment:

For music at reasonable levels I prefer sealed. I think the bass sounds more natural. But if you're talking going ultra-deep at high levels, vented would...Leave a comment:

I know you're joking, but the big problem is the extra woofer. That really narrows the beamwidth unless you use a scheme like the original D'Appolito... -
Alright, that makes sense. But if they want anything like a useful speaker I'd think they wouldn't use an in-phase crossover. Unless the manufacturer... -
Was this an MTM on its side (horizontal)? They're known to not be optimum, especially with in-phase crossovers like LR. You might do better with D'Appolito's...Last edited by fpitas; 10-12-2021, 04:43 PM.Leave a comment:

In their (partial) defense, Monster actually used to put an RF termination on the speaker end of their wires. They probably quit doing that since it's... -
Out of curiosity. What is the "modern" wire to use, according to your buddy?...Leave a comment:

I use twisted pair in a jacket, meant for in-wall use.That's because I have spools of it

I imagine if one is lucky enough to own one of the sought-after masters you can almost name your price. -
I think that's right, at least typically. Besides, the fidelity is just awful by modern standards....Leave a comment:
