What a bad room for listening to speakers. You never want a completely dead room. You want it sounding a little "live" and natural and not dead and isolated. And you can't judge speaker sound on youtube or via any recording. They MUST be listened to in real life. On my high-end system bith sounds like cheap plastic sound. In real life it would be something completely different. And even more different in a real enviorment. Though Audio Dynamics would know all this🤷♂️🤷♂️
A port only takes you from 2nd to 4th order if it connects the front and the back wave. A 3rd order enclosure would be a driver mounted in a sealed volume (2nd order) with the backwave going directly into a port. Another example would be the transmission line which is mentioned in the video itself.
If I understand, I feel like we should provide our physical constraints, and musical tastes, and driver price range, and let you tell us what driver to buy to match your enclosure design to maximize our goal. AM I close? I'm not on your level. lol
Any sources on where to learn this with this software? I am fascinated by your style and knowledge! Can a course on this be made by you (as I would love to be taught by you) or be found somewhere? I would be happy to enroll. As I am currently in the progress of building a 6th order (tunnel) walled 2009 chevy express (hightop) with 12 18s (probably sundown xv3).
I'm sure there was some useful information in this video but it was simply unwatchable. Don't try to be cute with the first person view it was nauseating.
What is Bass reflex and what is bandpass? I know I can google this... which I did... but given that this video is probably directed at speaker noobs, it would be nice to give a small definition of these words. I think anyone who already knows what the difference between bass reflex and bandpass wouldn't even be watching this video; they would already know how to count enclosure orders.
What a stupid comment.... I'm a hard core audio and electronics guy who sold electronics and audio gear for years, and also ran my own Car Audio and Upholstery shop for years until I sold it. I'm viewing this as a refresher / curious if he can show me anything new. What is the value of your comment? This is a 5 year old video with 36,000 views, do you think Pete make make those changes you suggested happen? So yours is a totally pointless, valueless, negative comment, making you an internet Troll.
@@reganmorben9248 Sorry if you found it stupid. I certainly didn't mean to insult or diss Pete. I thought it was a suggestion, which might be valuable in the future. Clearly an already uploaded youtube video can't be changed... that's ridiculous. And the amount of views is irrelevant to said suggestion. It's just feedback for the future. If it's stupid feedback... cool... just ignore it. If it is useful feedback... happy days! An analogy to my suggestion would be if someone uploaded a video called "difference between dynamic and condenser mics" and then in the same video, used terms like "phantom power", "hypercardioid pattern" and "mix matrix" without any definition. They're terms which are learned posteriorly, and a small definition in the moment could guide the viewer into either researching further, or not worrying about it.
There are 6 different design options which depends on if the design will be for an Audio Dynamics subwoofer, how many subwoofers, shape complexity of the available space, and if there are any design constraints.
The recommended enclosures were derived by designing each one for 4 different vehicle body styles and then providing the best average performance in one recommended design. We recommend taking advantage of our customized enclosure design service for optimum performce. This over the top service is provided for free unless restrictions are dictated that sacrifice maximum performance.
That setup in freecad is amazing. I love that software but I really fight it with the topological naming issue. Hopefully that is resolved in version 1.0 when it eventually gets released. Great work!
Thank you for your hard work, time, video, audio, tutorial, commentary, demo, samples, editing & expertise. There's so much false, misunderstood, & incorrect information online mentioned as " facts " 🤔 with absolutely NO science or proven theory. One can only learn if taught with actual facts.
Absolutely fantastic video! What software are you using to do the volumetric computation? i really want to start modelling velocity and pressure in enclsoures. could you please give me some guidance?
Dude you have no idea how much of an inspiration you are for me I would love to just chat with you I love your work and have been along time follower!!!!
What would you call a 6th order series tuned with woofers on the inside where they normally are and woofer on the outside of the enclosure with the back wave on the inside of the bottom chamber?
a terrible sounding enclosure! you'll experience cancelation and loading issues. you MIGHT be able to get away with it if you used a passive radiator but I think cancelation will still be inevitable!
Ok I'm going to go old school here. Back in the day we quite often ran an entire system off of 1 two channel amp, the nicer amps were capable of 'tri-mode', highs in stereo and your sub(s) bridged mono, because of this setup we had passive crossover networks. For a while I ran a 6th order parallel tuned bandpass, but because of the coil (inductor), it was considered a 7th order bandpass. How does an inductor fit in when calculating orders?
Great Video !! Please keep makingmore such informative videos. I recently did a KEF Q150 Bookshelf speakers review on my channel. link for your suggestions & to learn from you, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IasdvlDNzJw.html
I was about to get focal flax until I saw this video… purchased the 2000 series for my Ram 1500 stock 6 speakers. 6x9 coax in there rear and 6.5 components up front and wow. Very happy with them. No amp either, that’s next… but extremely good speakers. I can only imagine how the 3000 and 4000 series sound. Very happy with my purchase, thanks! Will be back for my subwoofer soon.
So you watched a video on youtube with bad sound quality recorded in a over isolated room in a box rhat don't represent real life and result is that the sound you hear can't represent real life and ypu actually made a decission from that?!?!? Never do that... Always listen in real life. Or you just blindly have to trust people (but never just one source) that knows what they are talking about. Bit that's not the best. But it's still better than a youtube video or sound recordikg if a speaker in a non-realistic enviorment
I've watched this so many times but I still don't really get the logic. Is someone able to summarise the rules? He uses a lot of terms I haven't heard of being used with pneumatics before such as inductance. Following some of the logic, wouldn't the 6th order ones actually be 5th order because the emitted wave can't interract with any other wave? (it only has 1 final output)
Here's my understanding of it: For the 6th order series tuned bandpass, there's the 4th order bass reflex (Front wave of the sub, capacitive reactance in the chamber, inductive reactance in the vent, and, for lack of a better word, "interactive" reactance at the front), then you add the front chamber to bring it up one order, then a vent to bring it up another, which leaves us at 6th order. Notice that the "interactive" reactance inside the front chamber between the sub and the rear wave is still there, and that the separation of the front and back wave of the sub always counts as an order, which is why an infinite baffle is considered a 1st order. For the parallel tuned 6th, you again have a 4th order bass reflex at the back, and adding a front chamber with a vent brings it up to 6th, with the rear and front chamber wave interaction replacing the sub - rear wave interaction, keeping it still as a 6th order. And then for the 6th order bass reflex, you have the front wave of the sub, two capacitive components in the form of two chambers, two vents, which are inductive components, and the interactive component at the front. Boom, it's a 6th. The terms I used might be inaccurate, but I hope you get the idea!
So, I assume the top set is AD and bottom set is Focal? My take is that the top set of speakers are more efficient and have a more realistic sound to them compared to the bottom set. You can easily tell this when listening to the crack of the snare. The top set the snare sounds open and alive, where the bottom set sounds muffled to me. If it was me, I'd buy the top set. Also, if any of you guys have never head Canton Audio, you need to give them a listen, oh wow!!
Hey, I've got a couple of old klipsch pro media subs, what could I do with them to make something better out of them? Broke as a joke, so any ideas would be appreciated.
