Horn response nails it again (Fb)
Sounds pretty good, but it’s a mouse fart compared to the tapered pipe I put the other one(7” version) in.

Looks a bit droopy below 60, I thought these drivers would do better thereSo it is quiet compared to the 7"?
It’ll do pretty good in anything vented it seems ?Looks pretty clean above 100hz, how does the same driver go in a TL?

Here’s a big expanding path tapped pipe dream😎. I guess it’s all about the box?Looks pretty clean above 100hz, how does the same driver go in a TL?

It seems Better as the psssive radiator suspensions loosen up but that other box is huge (272—>68cm2 @ ~180 cm long )So it is quiet compared to the 7"?

Box design, size and driver choices make a difference..I guess it’s all about the box?
You are comparing a (very) undersized 6L box with an Fb of 32Hz (8 Hz below it's driver's 40Hz Fs) to a 40L box with an Fb of 34Hz using a driver with an Fs of 35Hz and 40% more displacement.
@weltersys , yes sir, looks like these use about 14 liters . I choked my chicken 😝

6L box is very cool and a good effort. Can you retune it to 40hz? Would be interesting to see how the driver goes in native mode with an undersized box. The logitech 7" driver is mental in 15L, so a 14L box for such a small driver just seems a waste. I think that Epique would make for pretty cool looking and sounding W-FR-W in a tall and slim desktop monitorYou are comparing a (very) undersized 6L box with an Fb of 32Hz (8 Hz below it's driver's 40Hz Fs) to a 40L box with an Fb of 34Hz using a driver with an Fs of 35Hz and 40% more displacement.
I have an OEM PR much like the Epique with the same woven carbon being leaky issue. Mudhole carries a product called permagloss that can fill this up without much of a penalty. A couple of wipes with a cloth will do it, it wicks into the gaps
A (small) step in the right direction, but the box is still too small for the tuning achieved with no added weight.
If the impedance peaks either side of Fb were closer to equal, ~8 ohm, the frequency response would roll off a lot less at Fb.
How much difference in response did raising the Fb by 5Hz make?
Have you pushed the PRs to (by hand or with driver) Xlim yet?

I like Messing with big vented boxes (1/4 wave stuff) . These aren’t as exciting because my nuts aren’t shaking at 30 hz 😝
I’ll put one of the tangband w5-1138 in here with those pretty PR cones and see about making another tapered pipe for this one ?

make an FT30 loaded with an 18SW115, face it to one of your living room corners 1feet from it,
feed it 2kw and recline in to your sofa at 6 feet from it
watch jurassic park on your 100" sony bravia super OLED 8k screen
your eyes will be overflow with tears of joy
meanwhile your guts will turn inside out
and the nuts will FELL OFF!!! 😜😜😜

im guessing one of these in each corner or odd mulitples of the room dimensions might be better?
