shoehorn a 15" woofer / design help
lookin' for the wise to guide my way. thanks in advance!
I have 2 of these: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=290-155 - the Pioneer 290-155 clear poly cone 15 inch woofers. I also have 2 ready cabinets with an internal volume of approx 2.5 cu. ft. unstuffed. My box program skills are nil. Can someone tell me the "best" possible subwoofer configuration(s) for these drivers in the boxes I have? I'm looking to get the lowest notes possible at the expense of high SPL. Yes, I know they are not actual sub drivers. I can stuff the boxes and I can add standard tube ports or aperiodic vents, but no further woodwork skills have I. I will be driving them with a standard plate amp with crossover / phase adjustments natch. Should I throw a coil inline to help absorb high frequencies? Thanks for any help! p.s. I may get another pair of 15 to try in these cabinets; what other low cost driver from PE or MCM would get low in these boxes? p.p.s. I realize the boxes are small for 15's, but that's what I have.
