thielle small parameters of a 10" SVS PB1000 sub

[ariekarp]

I'd appreciate if anyone could help me getting the thielle small parameters of a 10" SVS PB1000.
I laid my hands on such a sub and want to build a "Sonosub" enclosure for it.

You can measure them yourself with basic equipment. I have a guide on my website.

The manufacturer may provide them if you explain you have a drive unit.

Thanks Richie,
I wanted to make a shortcut and not to measure the parameters. This will be the last resort.
I never thought of contacting the manufacturer because i did not believe he will relieve the data, but you're right it deserves a try.
As for copying the SVS design, I want to build a "Sonosub" tube enclosure because of space restrictions, besides I do not have the existing box dimensions (I have only the driver), I might find the box dimension and port diameter but not the port's length.

Does it look like this one and the same basic size, bolt hole pattern: Peerless 835016 10" Aluminum Cone XXLS Subwoofer

If you don't want to measure parameters, just put it in ~60L enclosure and tune it to somewhere in the 30 Hz range.

my understanding is they use peerless drivers so gm is probably spot-on.

Even if the woofer looks identical to a known woofer, the parameters can still be different as many manufacturers use woofers specially made to their own specs. Making your enclosure the same size as the PB1000 is also no guarantee to succes, as SVS could be using EQ.

True on both counts, though IME from admittedly long ago now, the main difference between a stock driver and a 'modified' one was usually just the label and depending on the agreement, better matched to design spec.

Still, always best obviously to measure what one has.
