Terry Cain's BIB -why does it work and does anyone have those Fostex Craft Handbooks?

This reminds me, awhile back I did a fairly high gain SD12 ~16 Hz TQWP design at Bob's request that he said was turned over to you for evaluation, so wondering what the status is.

I don't recall seeing that -- and Bob hasn't asked after it... what are the numbers. It is likely of a nature to add to the other largish SD12 designs (Scott also did a Shadow and a TL) that are of such a size that they will send someone running screaming to the sealed box, or just outrageous enuff that they will get built.

I've been throwing the idea around of a pair of push-push TLs with the larger 15s -- Chris just asks if i really want to test the house's structural integrity?

You have those 2 8" drivers scaled down to look like 10 or 11" drivers, they should probably be a bit smaller.

dave

Sorry for the bad drawing, it was intended to show were to place the drivers.

I have these two FW208N around (bought for another project gone bad) and wondering if they would work in your CSS SD12 Subduction.

Can you help?

Trying to get an 8" to work in a box for a 12" might be pushing it a bit, but i'll defer to GM or Scott... with GM's new BIB Cookbook forumla what do you get?

dave

Greets!

Long n' skinny:

L = ~240.438"
Sm = ~51.842"^2 (recommend ~6.055" W x ~8.562" D)
zdriver = ~52.175"
A-B-C = ~4.281"

Dimensions are approximate, so you can round them up as required. For basic layout: http://www.zillaspeak.com/bib-howtobuild.asp The sim shows no stuffing, so they perform much better in-room than the sim indicates once damped to suit.

Looks OK on paper:

GM

P.S. - the rest of the specs for simming:

Sd = 206.12 cm^2 (31.949"^2)
BL = 14.4875 N/A

Sorry but i dont get the topic on this thread?
What is it about?
And where is it now?
🙂

It's sort of like coming into a reading of Proust or War and Peace.

This monumental thread is dedicated to the BIB speaker design.

The best summary is the godzilla site which has some images.
What you see most recently here is some calculations for specific drivers....


But I thought I've seen your name on here before (?)

Firefox just snapped my bean and killed my post on this so here goes again:

There's the basic BIB and then some teaks and mods have been added:

The iBIBk which has it's own thread is an inverted BIB with Karlson cutout.

The suprabaffle added is shown in the godzilla site.

And a tweak I am using successfully is a pennant-shaped piece of felt as a divider down the mouth to tame boominess. The pennant shape follows the taper of the mouth . This was not original. It came from a suggestion-- or interpretation of a suggestion -- by GM.

Can i ask a question? what is a relation between Z driver, L and Sm?

Greets!

Sure, it's what we're here for.......

'zdriver' is normally a fixed value, L*0.217, but is somewhat flexible to keep the driver somewhere around ear height.

'L' is typically a function of Fs, 13560"/Fs/2, which tunes it ~an octave below Fs, but this too is flexible to keep the folded height reasonable when using low Fs drivers.

'Sm' is derived from the net Vb required based on a complex function of the driver's Vas, Qts. Reducing this lowers LF gain BW, which I don't recommend as it limits your tuning flexibility, though some cabs are so large it's unavoidable to either fit in the room and/or keep peace in the family.

An example:

L = 13464.54/2/70 = 96.175"
folded height = 96.175"/2 = 48.09"
Vb = 20*0.29*0.445^1.25 = 2.10804 ft^3
Sm = 2.10804*1728/96.175 = 75.751"^2
depth = SQRT((75.751*SQRT(2)) = 10.35"
width = 75.751/10.35 = 7.319"
zdriver = 96.175*0.217 = 20.87"
a-b-c = 10.35/2 = 5.175"
