CECAA850 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 how do you design a passive 20 or 30 HZ in line filter without knowing the source impedance and load impedance? Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! These kinds of questions are not allowed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Sometimes our ideas sound good. Other times, not so much. This was an utter failure. This idea sounds like crap when implemented. You are welcome, the water has been tested and decidedly unfit for human tolerances BACK TO STOCK... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Klipsch probably spent countless hours designing this sub to get it where it was, don't feel bad it did not work out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I love a person who is willing to try something like this. People can argue and postulate and calculate and hypothesize, but when it comes down to it, performing the actual experiment is the only way to find a decisive answer. Great job! IMO, porting can be done without damage if you use the block you made if there is enough room to turn the port before it hits the driver. If you want, go for it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 if there is enough room to turn the port before it hits the driver The port tube can run externally as well if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hmmm? Hadn't really thought about porting it. Have plenty of room both inside and outside the sub. Maybe another fun experiment? 4 inch port running 6 or 7 inches inside then 90 degree outside towards the floor? Here we go again Don't get me wrong, the sub never sounded bad. Just like to fiddle around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 When I start messing around like that I usually have a spare to fall back on so that those creative juices are not compromised. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2016 No need to have a spare with this experiment because he's making non-destructive edits to the sub. He can easily put it back together the way it was originally designed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 For experimenting just add a adjustable sliding straight port out the back and if you find it acceptable then build your final design. Makes it easy that way. Tinkering is fun if nothing else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK Just 8 screws and the sub is easily returned to stock configuration. Wouldn't think of altering or damaging the cab in any way. The port will be run through the blank plate I made. If it don't work out, 8 screws and done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie is usually the one teasing me bout' how quickly I move - "Get Er done"... For some reason having trouble loading pics. Got it all back together. Listened to 5 or so songs that I know very well. In a word, "WOW"! Did not think it was really going to work. Thought it would sound OK. However, it is much better than I had thought. Think the target is in the crosshairs now Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
