Racer 8

Happy new year to all

Good vid Booger
@weltersys @Randy Bassinga

I think He starts messing with this(dipole /figure 8 shape) in the sound ? @ 7:00 ?




The cardioid stuff is very interesting, and I wonder if I can use that eventually to have big bass inside and none getting out to the neighbours

An interesting bit I noticed was re the port on the bandpass box. The part the hand was being stuck into seems more like the jet nozzle port that I drew for the ported Volcano sub and less like the drawing they show

I did enjoy the open sound of the racer on the stand and look forward to hearing my other drivers mounted so and new respect for the various open baffle designs floating around the forum. It is a nicer rendition than ported or sealed and will be looked into further with a pair of upcoming Randytion two-ways 😀 for my desktop
 
There are a lot of social media ‘reels’ using these drivers with passive radiators in blue tooth boxes I noticed? I tried to link a couple with no luck

Yes, the BB3 and a Harmon boombox replacement drivers are offered on Ali and the basis of a lot of cloning and PR cabs but mostly without much in the way of acoustic modelling and such

Will pull the broken in T/S on this driver as soon as my new desk/bench is finished
