Has anyone used the Audax PR330M0 13" woofer in the past?
I´m looking for a nice low-midwoofer to mate with my Audax PR170M0 mids at about 500hz.
I have read the Audax will sound nice in the midbass and midrange. But I´m a bit worried about the lowend, will it actually play bass well? Or does it sound lean and bass-shy?
I´m not looking for hometheater-duty, just music with a reasonable low-end without the need for a subwoofer.
What would be the best enclosure size?
Best regards,
Olaf

Supposed to be quite good.
This guy uses it and has some favourable reviews although only released last year.

Nice guy, he might be able to help you. Will be interesting to know what he thinks.
-increase the volume and lower the vent freq.. I'd target something around 25 Hz for the vent and adjust the volume until I got the low-freq. "slope" that I was looking for.
The Audax PR240M0 could be a better solution for a lot less money. (..it would need to be closer to floor for some boundry gain, and the PR170M0 would need to be extended a bit lower in freq. than its traditional 500 Hz, with an appropriate high-pass filter).

It is impossible to lower the tuning frequency - a failure will appear at the junction between the woofer and the bass reflex pipe. In addition to this failure, the SPL of the bass reflex pipe will fall.
Audax PR240M0 for Audax 170M0 will not work - it is too small in diameter and it SPL has less than 1 watt.
The datasheet was compiled for this speaker in 1994, many years have passed and today there are very accurate programs for calculating the type and volume of the box.

I use WinISD as a program and find it pretty accurate. Using that the pr330m0 seems to like a 140 liter box with a 33hz tuning. Has a F6 of around 30hz.

I answer with google translator. If something is not clear - ask again.
No, the translation was fine. 😉 My derived humor from your post was - from a very/(exceedingly) clear lack of experience. (..it's not a big deal, lot's of people on this forum don't have it.) 😱 But it was funny. 😀
There is just a *lot* to designing speakers that you are not accounting for:
ex. from "Audax PR240M0 for Audax 170M0 will not work - it is too small in diameter and it SPL has less than 1 watt."
-you can lower the spl-average of the midrange to better match a slightly less efficient woofer. (..and in fact, even the 13" Audax will likely need that given typical baffle-step loss vs the midrange's average, even then there is only about a 2db difference between the two woofers at around 200 Hz, and with the appropriate volume the 10" will actually be louder around 100 Hz because of it's higher Qts..)
Suggestion: do NOT rely on simulation software's targeted response for a bass reflex design. Make adjustments as you require from your design (while understanding the resulting limitations as well). If the simulation software doesn't allow you to make these changes, get another piece of software - because something like that is a "dead end". 😉
