Epique 7” T-TQWT

(Red)horn response, (purple) is the mic @ the vent exit and some random irrelevant spl.

Yeah Randy, some of that junk at the exit is kind of irrelevant. Might even create a divergence in the sim verses measured at 8-900 hz or someplace related to that 10 cm?

the bump around 50 hz (measured) is created by the higher qts and Fs then claimed by dayton (factory ts parameters n simmed response))

The pair are (above and below) the fundametal resonance and since its tuned a ways below the drivers Fs the lower peak is lower In height

the peak at ~144 hz is about 1/3 the length of the resonator and is the second resonace.

that goofy hump at about 50 hz sucks and stirs up some panel vibes if driven really hard and distortion junk but it’s not part of the design, it’s weird🤷‍♂️
 
I did sims with that driver a while back and found it didn’t like too small either

I’ll measure a 7” that I have here and pass on the t/s to you. Its less potent than the Epique but it is the only other 7” around to directly compare for that 50Hz hump

Hey man can I ask about the amp? Some subwoofer plates and 2.1 boards may have a built in 50Hz boost. I know mine does and that the unity detent still feels like there is some boost. I think the embedded DSP on the amp has a locked always on loudness curve as at night the boost knob needs to be dropped below the unity detent when lowering volume to late night levels otherwise the bass stays fairly loud

Might pay to check this if you are using anything labelled subwoofer amp

I’m just using the dats and rew through the laptop, no ‘amp’ for these measurements
 
I like accurately portraying the offset driver location or the offset resonators in a folded bos@ wave cannon to try and get this dialed in precisely to reality(possibly why I measure right at the vent instead of way out in smoother response shapes where this is all just a blur and I can’t see anything of that detail??? ) .. but these are 60 cm or longer 1/4 wavelengths/harmonics inside the resonator, not some random tidbits that don’t actually show up in the measurement (??)
