What Enclosure for 4x kef B139-1024 and 4xb110?

[galop]

Hello i have 4 kef b139 and 4 kef b110 speakers.I want to make separate enclosures for this drivers.I like big enclosures and very low bass.What do you suggest?

[galop]

I write wrong,i want to make separate enclosure for bass and separate for mid,2 x b139 and 2 x b110 per channel.What kind of box do you suggest (bass reflex,transmision line or something else for bass)?Size of cabinet is not problem.

If i remember correctly the B139 has a Qts of 0.375 & a Vas of about 3cuft. As it's bass resonance is approximately 29.5Hz why not stuff each one in a 3cuft (3 cubic foot) box tuned by a reflex port to 30Hz

F3 will be at the box tuning frequency, is 30Hz -3Db good enough? If not then tune it lower & expect a more gradual rolloff from a higher frequency.

Scott & i did a modern TL for the B139. So far i have drawn up 3 variations. Transmission Line Speakers

A friend has built these ones (he shortened them a couple inches to fit in his room):



He likes them alot.

Hi galop,
try a google search for "Linn Isobarik DMS" They use the B139 in an isobarik loaded cabinet of about 55 litre's or thereabouts. They are famous for delivering really good very low bass in quantity. I have a pair and I can agree with that.
Worth a look for ideas.

Maybe this design would be ok.I was thinking about coffin sub ,but i need to build 2 ,because i have 4 drivers.but i dont know what will happen if i put 2 coffin subs on the left and right side of the room.(phase interference etc??)
1 cubic feet is 28 ,31 litres?

Yes So effectively you'd need about 85L + port volume & any bracing as well as a bit to add for each driver

If you were driving them via a seperate amp (for the subs) there is no reason why you couldn't alter the phase to any sub to bring the whole lot into time alignment, well with a bit of fiddling about anyway
