[@CORZER0]

This is one of those rare, genius-type of guys you never really forget because not only is he TOO SMART, he is also extremely articulate, a very uncommon combination.

[@CrashPCcz]

It is not genius to know, but it is genius to simultaneously know, share, do high quality content, and not looking like being smug about it. Very well!

[@owencousins8271]

Also often vary wrong

[@owencousins8271]

Me spell good. Vary = very

[@EvolveGaming98]

Wouldnt say being smart and articulate is a very uncommon combination if anything they are proportional and correlated

[@CORZER0]

@@EvolveGaming98 I wouldn't say your grammar and punctuation was very uncommon either.

[@steelervette]

Nothing like feeling as if you're back in class. At least it's for something I'm extremely interested in. Great content!

[@chadputt116]

I have been looking at these numbers, dots and characters for a while now...thank you for explaining them...

[@AaronAlso]

I've learned more from your channel in the past 12 days than I learned from 12 weeks of "Physics of Sound Waves and Loudspeakers" in College.

[@elladamerie]

great video again. Adding it to my collection of "keep watching until it's engraved in my brain". I'm building the latest design I got from you and this is by far the heaviest I ever built. Cheers

[@DIYerGuy]

Remarkable. This is stuff no books on enclosure design cover in terms of catagorizing the T/S parameters, and it makes you realize how complex and interrelated the mechanical aspects of a speaker are with the box in goes into, to put it simply. It would be great if HexiBase would write a book, or graduated course, on box design, speaker selection, and tuning - it would be fantastic. In terms of the videos, my only suggestion to HexiBase is this: being atuned (no pun intended) to music and audio (I'm a musician and engineer), the level of the background track tends to get in the way just a bit; A lower level would be nice. I've subscribed.

[@efmax9954]

As an ex-speaker designer for some years - all I have to say is thank you. I knew stuff before but I really know more stuff now.. thank you.

[@shtroumf]

Very informative, you’re underrated in my opinion. You should have a million view of each of your videos. Thank you for sharing this ‘digested’ information/knowledge!

[@FinBotBeep]

Another video addresses this question.

[@Chris-yy7qc]

@@FinBotBeep There is no question in his post...

[@justifiedsoul69]

I was going to build a sealed enclosure but listening to your explanation stopped me, as my driver has an EBP of 120 so clearly not suitable. Thank you for making the complex accessible!

[@Zardnokalicious]

Very good explanation for a complicated subject. Keep up the good work sir, I am looking forward to Part 2!

[@colinsmith7216]

"instead of eyeballing the peak of the surround just measure from the inside of the surround to the outside of the opposite surround"....mind blown

[@volvosteffe]

Best explanation of parameters i've seen yet. Too bad most people aren't willing to learn fundamental info like this. This should be mandatory to learn for everyone who's interested in audio in general.

[@96DreamBass]

So glad your back making videos hexibase!

[@SWAMPTTHING]

Wow… I certainly got what I asked for here… and then some. Thanks for the excellent preparation and for knowing your topic.

[@OldSchoolCarAudio]

Your videos nail the subject every time. Really well put together, an absolute pleasure to watch!

[@tp7886]

These new videos of yours are incredibly well produced. Thank you very much for taking the time to make them. I wIll say I do miss your old build videos (i.e. from AZ) too though. You've definitely come a long way.

[@randomtube8226]

Best simple accurate informative video on this topic on KZbin 👍

[@bournelucid]

I have been looking for an explaination for T/S parameters...and then i gat the notification It was very helpful 🍻

[@WolFv38]

Absolutely fantastic video with very thorough and concise explanations. Keep up the fantastic productivity!

[@heirlion2095]

Dude your videos are a gold mine

[@ruben3305]

Best explanation video! I’ve always struggle understanding the TS parameters but now I don’t thanks to you! Can’t wait for the 2nd part.

[@cigarjoe6950]

I clearly need more education on TS parameters. Looking forward to the next video

[@johnalenwork53]

Thank you sir excellent video as always!!! Hope you guys are having a great week and I hope you have a better weekend!!!!

[@dmncanter]

This has been super helpful, thank you for the great vids man! Hope you keep em' coming!

[@cyberphox1]

Excellent video and explanations. Look forward to part 2

[@ducpao]

Brilliant! Bookmarked. This is absolute content gold!

[@-IE_it_yourself]

I have to admit, found some of you videos hard to follow, but this had a great layout and explanations.

[@Helectronics]

Very informative, a lot of information in a short time. Well done!

[@DaniCamp67]

And just when I start to really get into sounds and speakers, great breakdown! I've been wanting to learn all these specifications! I'm starting to make my own speaker boxes at home and this is extremely helpful!!

[@AVNwinner]

thank you again pete for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us all. your always amazing with your way of explaining things

[@HugoMechE]

Thank you for taking the time to research this topic in order to better present the idea. Much appreciated.

[@flyrc88]

Just stumbled upon your channel. As an system designer in the past...mainly highend car audio and some theatre systems.....I find your channel very refreshing ! I will be tuning in frequently.... My mind is now jello after trying to remember all the TS data....thanks for the refresher. 🙏🏼

[@Papz2theDome]

I love this video. Thank you. I am am teaching my son about car audio and this helps a bunch

[@DrGeta666]

Straight and to the point. Very good.

[@luizcarlosquerido2943]

Very good an technical explanation. Thank you!

[@aalasley1]

Very nice video. It's a lot of info, but with the miracle of pausing and rewatching, an excellent source for understanding these parameters. Thank you for the video, keep it up!

[@bringmeyourweak]

Nicely done Pete! You nailed this one.

[@dcputt8193]

My favorite channel. This is the type of thing I didn't know what I didn't know...kudos

[@cartruck1070]

Wow. I actually had some misunderstandings that were set right by this vid. Thanks again.

[@drivenbydemons]

Damn I love this channel.

[@craigenputtock]

Wow what a great video! The graphics were great. Thanks for it all.

[@Conservator.]

Man (Peter), you are sooo good at making these video’s! Thank you, thank you thank you! 🙏

[@VicOrlando]

Fantastic!!!! I had to read a lot of books n MECP manuals to learn this

[@MrClubgibson]

Dude you're a legend!!! An explanation that made sense!!!

[@davesbrewing]

I am realy enjoying your content , strait forward math based and well explained. Great job.

[@droppinlowlows7234]

Good vid sir. It took me yrs to really understand t/s par.

[@claytonmckeon9872]

I've been watching you for years. I dont think people realize how much time is put into each video. It's cool to see you go from putting out good video's to becoming a master of your craft with easy to understand videos with excellent production value . Thanks for taking the time to make this. By the way you should bring back super Steve!

[@fsommer1]

Well said.

[@didierleclerc66]

You are absolutely brilliant ! This video is simply amazing. Everything's explained clearly. I've watched hundreds or thousands of similar videos. You are (by a huge margin) the best presenter with the best ability to explain complex concepts simply. Greetings from France

[@davidzoller9617]

You sure got the highest density content regarding speaker-tech.

[@kenneth86]

Thank you for making your videos. I've watched them all. I'm on your level but I'm self taught without mentor so it's rare I find someone that actually articulates a gain for my wisdom. I've learned more in 30 days from u then 12 years in school

[@Arshar]

simplest and best explanation..

[@jahlieel.e7856]

Good stuff brother always learning something new from u. Keep it going. Great info.

[@babydyke416]

I love this video yet every time I go to watch or listen to it again I just can't. Whatever that high pitch beep is that goes off through the whole video is like nails on a chalkboard to me!

[@jasonneal]

Exactly what I was looking for. I am now starting to understand the physics on how a speaker works.

[@workingclassperson2124]

The more I learn the more I appreciate my sub builder he’s almost done building 2 18 inch solo X motors on 15 inch frames modified with up to date parts. I like the BL of the solo x’s and thanks to you I think if I watch this video and the part 2 50 times each I may truly understand it all /;)

[@FinBotBeep]

Also....brilliant series. Thanks!

[@pabloosvaldopenizzotto1098]

Liked and subscribed and waiting for part two!! Great video

[@cheetor5923]

I've been building my own speakers since 1998 (I was 14. Wanted 'good' speakers but couldn't afford them). And since 1998 this is the clearest, easiest to understand explanation of TS parameters I've seen. I even learnt a few things I didn't know... Keep up the quality content dude!

[@wtfobiden]

great video and information!!!

[@fsmmike]

Wow good job man! Thanks for that!

[@jonjonr6]

This is an excellent video. So many parameters explained in way to understand terms. Vas is highly misunderstood. But what I don't understand is why subs with lower damping characteristics are more suitable for infinite baffle, where I would expect a driver with higher damping would be necessary, since there's no enclosure to provide any additional damping.

[@Grommet2007]

It may seem counterintuitive, but damping actually goes ***down*** ("Qb" goes up) when you you put a driver in a sealed enclosure. The larger the box size, the higher the driver's Qts needs to be to achieve a particular Qb, e.g. Qb=0.7. At infinite-baffle (i.e. box size=infinity), Qb is basically the same as the driver's Qts.

[@ernestoramos1151]

You give a free lesson thank so much.

[@T07N]

This is so awesome.

[@danieljensen761]

loving this.. thanks.

[@jodyhowell6158]

Great presentation of interesting content!! Wish you had time to go into more detail on each parameter. Looking forward to part two. Definite subscriber here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Steveleebdutoit]

Super useful :) Cheers dude

[@Torques_moto]

What a great video.

[@clementc7297]

The best explanation. Thanks sharing

[@hakansternersson1804]

Ive watched this a couple of times just to understand and look for the data of my driver for my homemade bluetoothspeaker (extra all) and I´m..........pretty (almost)(eventually)(perhaps) sure I´m in the ballpark :) Thanks alot for sharing your knowlegde.

[@sveneisenhauer1]

Man, I wish you were my twin brother and I was considered the smarter one of us! Short of that, I’ll watch your awesome videos. Great presentations! Thanks for posting them!

[@obudaifourty9]

Excellent presentation as usual. Good enought to be a professor in any University.

[@TheAudioWizard]

Fantastic Video!

[@collinrohwer1790]

Yes, you are correct, this should have been the first... But thank you for doing it! I have read and reread the definition of each TS over and over again and I STILL get confused sometimes.

[@loops2469]

WOW! And this is just part1. think im gonna need the 'for dummies' version. Good info dude. thank you

[@alexandrefernandes6286]

Very goood content. Immediate subscription! THank you for your videos!

[@franciscorompana2985]

Nice graphics.

[@LIFT4POWER]

Honestly this is an EXTREMELY important video. If you are new, and reading this comment, do yourself a favor and bookmark this video. This is the core of loudspeaker alignment. I'm excited to see the next set of videos. Pete, will you be going a vlog on transfer function? Its important for newer hobbyist know that a predicted response is essentially in a infinite space with no interactions.

[@future62]

Damn this was an amazing video. Thanks

[@barakhalla5338]

1:26 1:55 Etc... That 14KHZ tone.. I felt it in my throat

[@terrancedesormeauxjr2559]

This is the type of info I like to learn. New sub my friend👍

[@ferchodesconocido8464]

Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, 😃 me gustan tus videos por que los explicas de una manera muy sencilla y clara! Eres mi maestro!

[@DarkMineLP]

This is what i needed like it

[@frape1969]

Thiele & Small parameters clearly explained, thank you for that. Greetings from Germany ;-)

[@rogersingh3918]

You saved me from making the wrong decision, been reading up on tsp, your video gave me a whole new perspective on tsp, really appreciate how you explained each parameter and their relation to each other, also would love to know which of these parameters and the formula for calculating enclosure volume and port area? Solid information, subbed.

[@SSMan-jo6tf]

Okay so I thought I knew my stuff when it comes to speakers,I’ve been installing for most of my adult life but this guy makes me feel dumb! Great information!! Thank you!!

[@JasonLeaman]

Good Video !

[@LitchKB]

Appreciate your vlogs - good, concise info. Would really like a video workshop on how to take T/S and design a 4th, 6th and 8th using one or two of some subs you have. Doesn't need to be a literal build - just a workflow. * Which software you can use / is there manual math? * Ideals to aim for. * Caveats to look out for.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

I can't tell if the HexiBase guy is Russian or Mexican, but I love the accent.

[@Dauntless.steadfast.fortitude]

Love Hexi videos Great content, lessons, graphs, charts, visual aides, explanations 20 different sub categories / theories = mind blown How does one use all 20 to decide on a speaker or enclosure..???

[@mahamadousacko823]

The speaker with the iron base gives the song of the iron so if we change the base to something else that makes the sound different from iron like plastic we will have plastic tapping or like a kind of budon it is as if we are practicing tap the budon.

[@CrashPCcz]

I would object a little to the Le issue - if one has enough voltage swing from the amplifier, it is not particularly problem for a subwoofer to about 130-150Hz. Other than that, flawless!

[@neillist5517]

This is incredibly well explained. I'm shopping for a woofer for a TL enclosure. I'm not as lost as I once was, lol. Thank you!

[@thomascampbell8064]

Look for low QTS , lab 12 made by Eminence at parts Express is a good choice for a tapped horn or a T-line .

[@VEC7ORlt]

Yay new content! Succinct and to the point! 'Want fast sub, look for low Le' - tisk tisk! Not something I expected to hear from you!

[@Grommet2007]

Great video. BTW, Le is usually measured at 1kHz for woofers. In any case, it's not really constant, and can vary significantly. Box modeling software that takes this into consideration can produce more accurate simulations.

[@Mr.NpK143]

Great info

[@tragicevans4157]

Great video 👌 What I've learn is that Mechanical is green, Electrical is blue and Electro mechanical is yellow.

[@ziggy8757]

great video...Pete tell us which of those or combination of those you look for the most for your projects...that would be cool

[@martyjewell5683]

Most of this is waaaaay over my head. I do "get" the T/S basics. In 1978 my first T/S experience occurred. I purchased hifi speakers from Ohm Acoustics located (like me) in Brooklyn on Taaffe Pl. if I recall correctly. My model L speakers were said to utilize the T/S theory. Something to do with juggling the woofer, box (cabinet) size and "venting". All I know is that my 20X12X10" speakers played really freakin' loud (and clean) and were the equal of systems much larger, more expensive and heavier. With enough output to impress if not annoy the neighbors. In my tiny ($95 a month) studio apartment space was a premium. I think Ohm Acoustics and Electro-Voice were among the first companies to take advantage of this theory. I've had these Ohm L's forty one years and still find them very satisfying, excellent reproducers of sound. Just my un-technical view.

[@Ernestom5]

Superb.
