So i impulse bought a sub. What would you do with it?

Kind of a no brainer if you just connect the resonaturs together with one folded 3x.

Probably not a convenient shape for PA use (end fired and twice as ‘tall’ as the drivers)however?

Yellow is more than 3x as long as green…. So you get the phase discontinuity when yellow goes in resonance and green is just gurgling 😝

But if you put a bunch of damping in green then you can slow the affective speed of sound propagation enough to create less of an issue ?

🔊🔊hurray! So interesting and exciting …. This stuff is fun, even if it sounds weird

You didn't move L45 to 45.1cm too.
The response is worse at 45.1cm at L12 & L45.

L12 & L45 @ 6.25".

L12 & L45 @ 17.76".

I don’t really know, but I imagine some of the reasons that the exit is offset and has a certain aperture to it in the keystone sub design is to acoustically help avoid some of this junk?

It certainly makes sense to me (and my ears and amatuer dsp efforts) how Brian Steele is constantly pointing out how important it is to avoid that and not get stuck with steep crossovers that turn it all into delay instead of the super high Q ringing resonance?

There are other designs (like the newer paraflex stuff using strategic driver entry positions and stubs ) that avoid all of this and it’s so refreshing to switch subwoofers and not hear it immediately after getting annoyed by it .

Build it and make it ‘adjustable’ so you can somehow remove the issues in a fun and incredibly useful learning experiment ?

By a few 4” dayton tcp115-4 and scrap plywood to goof off in your garage . They’re willing to excite these things if you scale down the csa . They’re like nick Diaz and pepper the air with punches 😝
