I was led to believe that the difference would be bottom end extension, with the bigger size being able to play lower, but now i am thinking i have read to construct an optimum length horn for sub frequencies, they end up being like around the 50 ft mark correct? so would the few inches difference in the WO make a large difference? (remember i am looking for a sq system foremost) And finally with cabin gain in cars is the lower end extension nessicary if it is only a few Hz difference?
Could someone please clear this up for me?
Cheers
No contradiction I said I wonder how much better the 30 would be than the 24. thats more of a question, if you build both and use he same equipment you could tell me!
Steve states the WO will play louder. Some say the same as well as lower. some say it does not play lower. I figure Steve is always right because in all the stuff I have played with he is right.
60 has a good point about the WO placement that is also a repeatable fact.
He is right to the point that it can be night and day.
There are all sorts of reasons for this and some disagreement so i will not bother. lets say it works more than it does not.
IMHO and I am not saying I am right is that if the box faces back it will be deeper and better bass with the possibility of less SPL.
I like it as low as it can get and for SQ I am with 60 to the point that I would not face it as you show. I never had any or my Wo or Wo32s facing me, because I do not like the sound. In the house they always have faced down a couple inches off the floor. In the car faced to the back.
The Db faces the back of a car and faces the corner in my house.
thats the best I can get
