Hi,
I have been playing around with a prototype design for my Morel MTM project.... some details here http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=563594#post563594
each mid bass is in it's own sealed enclosure (box is partitioned).... what I had done was to model a single driver (average t/s params of all four drivers) in unibox, and then made two cavities of the size I came up with (plus a bit)
I had been testing with the drivers in parallel, but wondered about connecting them in series.
I decided for whatever reason to use unibox to model two drivers in parallel and found that it gave a volume bigger than double that for one driver... then I tried in series and it gave me a volume slightly less than double that of a single driver.
unibox standard design comes up with the following:
1 midbass 6L
2 midbass series 10.7L
2 midbass parallel 15L
now to confuse me even more a guy yesterday on the ESP forum told me that it should be the series configuration that needs a bigger box volume.
so I guess to get to the point....
a. is unibox giving correct info when using the parallel/serial feature?
b. if a is correct, then should i be making bigger boxes for my parallel configuration, even though I have the drivers in separate enclosures??
winisd pro and speaker workshop both simply double the volume for one driver....
Tony.
