Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking of making a subwoofer / speaker stand for my current 2 way speakers. Maybe an 8" or 10", ported.
I've always wanted to try putting woofers and ports near the floor. My biggest concern is really the integration of the driver though. Are there any tips, or rules to maintain maximum integrity of the sound? Besides the usual level, phase, timing?
I'm thinking of crossing the woofer over to the midrange (really a separate 2 way sitting on top of the woofer enclosure) between 100 to 200 Hz. Tweeter would be at ear level, mid-woofer below that, and woofer as close to the floor as possible, either facing the floor, or with a port facing the floor.
Thanks!
Erik

100 or 200 Hz... No problem. In fact, while playing around with offsets on a recent 3-way crossed at 350 Hz, I discovered that it would have been easier if the woofer was close to the floor. Played it more conservative though.
If the sub-cabinet baffle extends about 1 m below the mid-treble cabinet I would worry
about it, being a surface that reflects sound becoming a ghost source. I'd make it zig-zag
