this topic might have been discussed somewhere else, but anybody tried surface mounting alpair 10.2 in pencil or vented bookshelf designs. does it effect the sound quality considerably?
not flush mounting will save hell lot of woodwork for me!
he didn't say that - you could just expect (and most likely easily measure) greater degree of higher frequency diffraction artifactsWhat circumstances?
So if you don't 'flush mount' an A10 - it's worthless, broken?

you would hear (and measure) it quite easily
It's a 10mm flange. By flush mounting all your doing is extending the 'diffraction artifacts' from the edge of the frame/flange to the edge of the box. Unless soundnovice listens in a perfectly tuned room and listens to his system from side on - I don't think your point is relevant to "effect the sound quality considerably' You're wizzing in his ear.a severe surface discontinuity if not flush mounted
seems to be a good idea. i guess it works something like tweeter diffraction ringsspeaker cloth on thick felt, is a fine way to avoid flush mount. Just cut a hole that equals the outer diameter.
i am using 18mm MDF. for flushmounting a stepping depth of 12mm is done. so only 6mm is left for mounting the driver! is it sufficient to hold the driver firmly? or i should add another 18mm MDF wood to increase the baffle thickness?
