Been reading various posts on the subject of damping and, as usual, i'm finding a lot of different opinions.
My setup will be an Alpair 12p in a 10L sealed sub-enclosure (stuffed) and a 12" Dayton woofer in a 100L cabinet, ported and tuned to roughly to 30hz. Drivers are crossed 1st order at 300hz,a few questions:
Thanks in advance for any info
My setup will be an Alpair 12p in a 10L sealed sub-enclosure (stuffed) and a 12" Dayton woofer in a 100L cabinet, ported and tuned to roughly to 30hz. Drivers are crossed 1st order at 300hz,a few questions:
- Apparently, due to the extended wavelength from < 300hz damping isn't all that effective and bracing is much more essential, will that be the case for my setup?
- I've tried to retain as much cabinet volume as possible, when adding damping material am i losing cabinet volume or does it act as additional volume in the way a sealed enclosure would?
- If damping is needed, how much and where would it be best placed?
Thanks in advance for any info
