[@andyp3834]

Nice, I am glad to see someone still uses insulation, except you just stuffed it in the box in the back, one of the main reasons for insulation is to cause the sound to move in ONLY one direction (which should almost always be parallel to the speaker resonance) so the best way to stuff a box is to put the insulation around the speaker / around the edges of the box, all you did is cause the sound to be muffled front to back and echo like crazy side to side. p.s. a little insulation should go behind the speaker magnet, but it should be at least twice the density and much smaller (like close to the diameter of the speaker) Also, home speakers are mostly 8 ohm and desktop speakers are 4 ohm, so if you hook up a 4 ohm speaker to an 8 ohm amplifier eventually the speaker voice coil wire will short out and then your amp will too, conversely, if you use an 8 ohm speaker on a 4 ohm amplifier, your speakers will be fine, but your amp will blow. remember you get about twice the volume of a 4 ohm speaker hooked up with an 8 ohm amp and half the volume out of 8 ohm speaker hooked up to a 4 ohm amp. Obviously if you are going for a high-powered amplifier who want high resistance speakers, like 8 or even 16 ( I have two!) anyway, working at Harmon and Kardon for years and also being taught my my uncle, I have some helpful knowledge about speakers, amps and the dynamics of sound due to the many system I have built. my first sub-woofer was a 15" long throw dual voice coil speaker with an sealed box I built out of one inch particle board; not ported (bass-reflection technology) , not acoustic (only running 80 watts) but sealed up, please dont ever make a band-pass box unless you know your porting, have a 1 or 2 ohm speaker load and a very small out put of wattage, (and in a small room).

Hello Luis. That Windows programs was Dayton Audio DATS v3. You can download the software for free. But you need the hardware in order to measure anything.

[@Grommet2007]

Nice work, certainly better than I can ever do in my "workshop" :-). Hopefully rear-mounting the woofers that way doesn't throw the frequency response around the x-over region out of whack because of the increased z-offset from the tweeter. How are you going to measure the results? REW and a good mike?

[@chrclmnky]

Thanks for the feedback, Brian. Will just do the testing by the most traditional tool available, the human ears.

[@Grommet2007]

@@chrclmnky Ears are absolutely the worst tools to use for absolute testing. Hell, your hearing is different at different times during the day, and dependent upon how old you are, what you were listening to before, etc. For determining relative differences between two sound sources they're ok for that job, but they're horrible at quantifying specifically what's wrong with a particular build, or what could be done to correct it. REW software is free, a good USB mic can be got for less than $100, and the combo run on a PC is all you really need for quantifying what your ears might be trying to tell you about your build.

[@chrclmnky]
