*legend level achieved*

[@jonathantierney7301]

[@diegonogueira8222]

there's a conceptual mistake on this video. The orientation to not touch the bass radiator is because when you push them, you're also "pulling" both of the drivers, whitch can lead to phisical damage to the mooving parts of the speakers due to excessive extention and non-linearities. When you push the bass radiator while there's music playing, the non regular movement induced on the driver will transduce to non-linearities, witch can damange thoses voice coils by them touching the magnet core. Also, you can, even, stretch the suspention of the radiator until a point above the yeald stress, witch leads to changes in suspention propeties and ruins the box tune frequency. this kind of damange witch you are showing in your video do not have any correlation with the JBL orientation of not toutch the bass radiators. When you put a hole in then, you are basicaly screw the f**k up the enclosure, killing a good chunck of the bass and low mid by leaking the mirrored signal produced by the back part of the driver. additionaly, you also altering the suspention of the drivers by screw the enclosure. The drivers, so, mooves with less suspension and more drag, altering you signal response curve.

[@hanstransjuicer8911]

"...don't try this at home...' Too late man, too late 😂 Ok, my tip: take an old speaker that fits the hole, but do not connect it to the amplifier. It has to be airtight so if you see a slit or hole, use silicone kit or hot glue to seal it off. Be aware not to violate the integrity of the cone (best cone would not be paper but plastic or space maturial) -- When you close it up and play music, it will act as a passive radiator - but only as long as the whole speakerunit is airtight. Even the smallest hole will make the radiator defunkt. BTW I think that's actually how someone got the idea in the first place ;-) Good luck!

Hi,could you please do a frequenct test battle between xtreme 3 and xtreme 2?

[@frankkeeler5144]

For those who keep saying this isnt a passive radiator and its a subwoofer. peakers produce sounds by vibrating air molecules. A passive radiator uses the internal pressure geneated by the speaker inside the sealed encloser and specifically weighted to only react to the lower frequency sounds thus vibrating the air adding support to the low frequencys. This is not a subwoofer there is no magnet structure or power being run to it. Do research before you make foolish statements on the internet.

[@demonclub7050]

I new that passive radiators werent. A sub but all the other stuff is new

[@ashlysherief3850]

I think the purpose of passive radiator is to make the speaker waterproof. A ported speaker will get flooded when submerged in water. But with radiators, the speaker would be fully sealed and also allows the woofers to move freely without too much internal pressure..

[@demonclub7050]

@@ashlysherief3850 I passive raditor and a think that makes it seem ported with out it being ported alot of stuff us it its not just for waterproofing

[@HybridBell]

@@ashlysherief3850 Passive radiators effectively "increase" the amount of low end produced by small drivers in a small enclosure. Ported enclosures require twice the internal volume. Radiators are used in small speakers for this reason. Bass produced is also more accurate and cleaner bass response due to the active drivers utilizing the internal sealed volume as an "air cushion spring" to push back on.
