Seas H1597 FA22RCZ - a set on Flickr
That metal ring looks like acrylic. I will take some more pictures of this and add to the set above.
That acrylic ring is called Spider Ring and it was developed by SEAS to center the spider.
As far as i know the idea came by working with the Klippel. The linearity of the Spider is very important for sound quality.

mteinum,
never take the center of OB for the driver,
in your case ~300 Hz you will get a dip of ~20 dB
out of Klinger, 1983 OB tests side 91

Depends what you regard as decent bass output.
Combined response of the Seas centrally positioned on the 4ft x 4ft baffle you mention across a room corner (small gap to either side). 1m on-axis. Excuse the HF roll-off; I forgot to remove a low-pass filter when I ran it through MathCAD. OK for giving you an idea of what it's doing at the bottom end though. Personally, I'd rather use it on a smaller baffle crossed to a couple of 15in woofers below ~500Hz, but YMMV.

I see some nice ideas coming up here i realy appreciate all the input in this thread🙂
My loudspeaker has now played music for a couple of days. And the bass respons is getting better and the tweeter seems better too.

I was wondering does anyone dear to sugest a horn construction for this driver.
its so many constructions out there and i tought many of you have som experience with some of them 🙂
I know this is difficult of course but maybe someone have a good gut feeling about one of the universal designs out there🙂🙂

how about the jerico? it works with the exotic.
i can only guess about the g-chang or curvy chang.

Hi Scottmoose,
I have just bought a DIY license for the worksheets. Which one did you use to model the OB?
Thanks a lot!
I did some simulation moving the speaker upwards on the baffle:
(file: OB_2_Drivers_Corner_Active_1_30_10.mcd)
High Pass Filter, fHP = 0 Hz

The simulation with ydc=28 zdc=40 looked nice it seems putting it higer will take away from the bass respons but even out the respons further up.
Is this going to work well in quarter wave transmission line? I guess a single folded transmission line floorstander of ~1.3m (line length of ≥2.6) would be nice.
I see🙂 but it still look best to move the driver somewhat up on the baffel
but not to high 🙂
Are you going to try it in your dallas horn's to next saturday?
I am very curious to hear what you think of it in the dallas horn you know🙂🙂
I was planning to try these speakers in OB baffle like Wharfedale SFB, but with custom dimensions(WxH) 700mm x 650mm with (WxH) 250mm x 630mm wings. Attached picture is model from plan.
I almost ordered sheets for prototype but then I starting to think that should I increase height of baffle? I can't do any wider baffle but higher baffle is possible up to 1800 - 2000mm. Is there any sense to increase height?
So maybe I change my plans and try first Papa's like baffle which are also mentioned in this theard.
I already ordered pair of FA22RCZ but they was sold-out from Finnish distributor, so I need to wait few weeks. All comments are wellcome.
