Hey guys. I've finished building six sets of speakers using advice from this site - so a general thanks to everyone for sharing info!
I have a new project in mind, and after seven or eight hours of research I'm still not clear on what the key factors are in choosing appropriate exciters for a given size & density of material.
I'll keep my two questions short and sweet:
1. I have four 1/8" baltic birch artists panels mounted on pine (I think!) frames that are 3/4" thick and 1.5" deep (see image: https://www.canadaoncanvas.com/images/articles/wood_art_panel_front_back.jpg). Two frames are 20"x20", and the other two are 24"x24", and the plan is to use one of each size for the L channel, and the other two for the right. Any suggestions on what kind of specifications to look for, or any brand/model suggestions?
2. Is it totally crazy to attempt to mount multiple bass exciters on a solid core antique hardwood door instead of purchasing or building a conventional subwoofer? If there's a good chance that setup would produce some decent sound, any suggestions on type and quantity exciters for such a thing?
Sound quality is a much higher priority than budget. And I'd love to figure this out for myself if anyone has a decent resource - I'd definitely prefer to learn rather than mine you guys for suggestions. 🙂
Thanks so much!
