Seems reasonable, thanks. It's all fun and games until the darn box weighs 200 pounds and is the size of a refrigerator :D That was just a quick simulation where I wanted to show what the overlap of the woofers would look like. Didn't pay much attention to the horn or overall frequency...

I managed to prop one speaker up on the kids' playhouse in my backyard but even with a working 6 ms gate the interesting measurements below 200 Hz are, let's say, inconclusive. In my room, box about 2 ft away from the rear and side wall and averaging out room modes / SBIR, it looks like there...

That's exactly what I thought, too. Unlike with my smaller speakers I can't measure any meaningful baffle step, though. In my yard I can see a slow 2 dB rise from 100 Hz to 300 Hz but in my listening room the woofer measures flat without any BS compensation! Probably because of adjacent...

They actually aren't that great as HT subwoofers IMHO. Just recently I bought (and sold again with a huge profit) a pair of JBL 4642As with two 2241H drivers each. Originally, I wanted to keep them but was disappointed to be honest. The transducers don't really like operating much below 40 Hz...

I am currently in the process of activating a pair of old JBL 4622N cinema speakers for home stereo use but I'm facing some strange issues. I got these for almost nothing and I am not yet willing to let 'em go. These are dual 15 inch woofers + big horn (JBL 2384) units. The original passive...

Right now my setup looks like this: Soundcard SPDIF -> miniDSP OpenDRC-DA8 -> 8 power amplifiers (6 channels for active-3way-speakers + 2 channels for subwoofer array) This is only for stereo music. Now what I'm looking for is a way to listen to more sources than just my...

For those who are interested: I pushed both woofers to Xmax with a 15 Hz sine signal and shot 240 fps slow motion video of the same region. Copy 1 has the visible fingernail mark / line along the top, copy 2 is the unharmed speaker. Copy 1: Copy 2: Personally, I see no difference in...

Thank you. I have never measured distortion before so, as you said, we'll probably never know if anything has changed. Just wondered if the box itself or mounting/damping/loose wires ... could contribute to distortion figures in such a way. But I'd have to pull that woofer again zu find out...

Thank you! I just measured both woofers at 105 dB, distance to mic approx. 1 ft. Frequency response (orange is the damaged one): Distortion undamaged woofer: Distortion damaged woofer: It seems to produce LESS distortion above 100 Hz but more below. What do you think?

Yesterday, I removed the woofers from my main DIY-speakers to do some work on the crossover. The woofers are Wavecor WF259PA01, so you could consider them fairly "expensive". At least they are quite valuable to me as I had to save up for some time so I could afford a pair of them ;)...

As it seems, they do produce less power at bass frequencies - at least the S-PRO2 does. Here's a chart by Anselm Goertz who measured the power output of the Pascal S-PRO2 under different circumstances: 1 kHz continuous sine input and it delivers the rated 500 W for over 10 seconds, same with...

Hi, A few days ago I received a Pascal S-PRO2 amplifier which I intend to use for my 6 ohm Subwoofers (two 3 ohm drivers in series per box, 1000 W continuous power handling). Now the S-PRO2 is rated 1000W for both 4 ohm and 8 ohm loads in bridge mode. There's a switch that limits the output...

Hello everybody and greetings from Germany, I'm considering PASCAL S-PRO2 modules for my double bass subwoofer array. So I'm particularly interested in loads of bass frequency power at moderate distortion levels (1%). The official S-PRO2 datasheet claims there's no meaningful difference in...
