Hi all,
This is my first attempt at using a speaker modeling program and designing any type of enclosure, and I don't know what I don't know.
I've modeled (using my best estimates) the JBL 5628 subwoofer in WinIsd, and the SPL tracks very closely to JBL's published frequency response. I also noted that if I seal the virtual model of the JBL 5628 it has a Qtc of almost exactly 0.5 which I've read is considered ideal for subwoofer transient response for music (where midrange and upper bass is not a consideration).
Am I missing something obvious, or would it be reasonable to buy a pair of JBL 5628 subs and simply seal them for tight musical bass with very high output and good in-room frequency extension? This solution appears to meet or exceed the output of the Rythmik FV25hp through most of the frequency range from 10-120hz, and is nearly $1000 less per sub.
I have spare crown amps, space is not an issue (will eventually do quads), and they will be hidden from view.
The alternative would be quad (or even six) Rythmik G25hp subs but would be more expensive and would require dedicated outlets in each corner of the room further increasing expense.
So before I do something potentially stupid, what am I missing?
Thanks!
