Amazing-someone cloned* Audiobahn's basket, imagine trying to steel their customers



* I know, just have the same build house, everyone goes to China and sees who'll do it cheapest...

i used the added mass vas.

i use a big clump of modeling clay

i measure the clay on a gram scale.
then enter the value into the wt3

 

[TheBaronGroog]

ok, what mass are you adding? IIRC has to be at least 25% of the MMD or you get poor results

 

[zuki]

the software prompts you to make sure your mass is enough

or software won't run

my fear is that the clay dampens and changes the driver resonance and freq sweep in a funny way

i may have to start a thread regarding the wt3 itself
because windows is not giving me a microphone level setting .

Try using the 3/4" sized neodymium magnets on one side of the cone and thick zinc plated washers on the other. Works well for me, non invasive to the cone and they don't fall off ,and you can evenly space them around the cone.

what is wrong with using clay ?

i set it on the dust cap

i did find this you tube video
where three of these 15's are used in a open back style design.

i have gone through set up and calibration.

if i have anything wrong, it is the mic volume setting level.

my computer mic volume does not give me a setting scale with a numerical value of 1.
so i just raised the mic volume up to the first marker.

i am going to try the other two usb inputs and see if one has a mic assigned with a volume setting that reads 1 as the wt3 software recommends.

if i have the mic level correct. then these woofers parameters make the driver useless for anything other than infinite baffle.
