Speaker enclosure design

[Elfriede]

Hi.

I would like to change from a current DIY speaker design (kit) change the dimensions of the speaker enclosure. What I mean is, to change the dimensions height, length and width. The overall volume will stay the same.

In this case, do I need to change the X-over of the speaker kit?

Thank you
Christian

Probably, because the baffle influence (diffraction, baffle step) will change.

Increasing/reducing speaker heigth and depth usually has the least influence and may be possible without changing the x-over.

Which kit?

Hello.
It is a kit from Germany. It is based on a modified Scan Speak / Vifa speaker tweeter and woofer, which are matched together as a Koax speaker.

An intersting speaker. 2K XO from the huge impedance peak. Brace could be better executed.

Have you built this or are you just starting?

Changing trhe width of the box will affect where the woofer transitions from 2∏ to 4∏ steriradian radiation (baffle step).

What does the XO look like. Is there a RLC (in parallel) all in series with the woofer?

Hi
no, I didn't built it. I found the Coax concept interessting. and in general, I like speakers which are more wide then deep
The XOver I didn't see yet, this would come with the kit when ordering.
