I thought that the one side vented idea was kinda cool. But I think that if it is not flat on the carpet on the floor whats the use. But its still a idea. I would not try it that way so maybe I should have said that in the beginning.
My orignal post says it all (Hmmm how do ya figure that?
IMHO of course.) then I thought I was being an a55 shooting the idea down.
I was running my 5 1/4 flat on the floor on some thin carpet with a 20 lb plate on it. thats the way it work best. it's in a holiday trailer and gives a good illusion of bass for the kids. ( rattles the hell out of everything)
They use it and like it because I don't and I don't want to play with it anymore.
That would not work at all in my house!. My toy WO32 is set up just like 60 mentioned a couple times. mouth firing into the floor 4" up and thats how it works the best for the room. I would have not even thought of that unless 60 would have mentioned it. I screwed with that design and I like it. its my favorite build and most fun.
I admit that I don't play around and experiment anymore. I read though all these formulas and ready made plans.
I am reading another book right now and I got so bored I checked in here to be accused of using crack. ( thats more fun than the book)
Now its not nearly as much fun as " what happens it I do this...... oh that sucks what about this... mmm better...why?" Trying it in differant ways is always fun and then sooner or later you hit the wall of physics.
I would not argue with the Dawg either and a whole host of others. Well ok ya I would argue but thats for entertainment value not because I think I am right. ;)
