Ripole / W baffle
Hi
The reason why you you do not use the ripole is that because you need to be able to go higher in frequency?
I have 2 12" woofers and want to go with the W shape for bas.
My midrange will probably be the 9½" SB satori woofer, that can go deep enough for a W baffle bas, I hope.
Tweeter is the big ESS AMT1.

I tried Ripole but could not hear or measure any significant diffence. Also I would like to go as high as possible.
I have tried stuffing the u baffle pretty dense. This was not a good idea. No deep bas, and more a honk sound, than oomph. Stuffing out and new DSP settings is much better and natural sounding.
Hi Kjeldsen
The ripole you tried, was it with a single unit only?
If you use only one unit there is no force cancellation. That is my main goal with the W baffle.

Yes, that was single driver. It was just to try the potential of this construction. I prefer the more simple u baffle simply because its easy too build. The ripole did not outperform the others.
Ripole has a slimmer appearance though and with two you have force cancellation. And that should outperform two on a normal baffle.
Its not that slim, look at my barrels, they would approx be the front in a ripole with just one woofer, with two woofers they would be even wider. The cancelation is off course a big bonus. I have tried with four woofers, but even with cancelation the single 15 inch outperforms the four 10 inch arrangement.
