Man do I have a whole stack of questions! Even speaker design is a lot more complex than I would have thought! I could bombard ya'll with all my questions, but I would tire of typing and most of you would learn to ignore threads started by me (if you havent already
Here is a more pressing question:
Why multiple drivers of the same type?
Messing with the stats and such in WinISD, I see an increase in SPL a bit, but other than that it appears much easier to squeeze more bass from just one driver. Should I increase box volume, select 1 mid-bass driver and try get ... say 50Hz out of it, its a much better job than.. say telling the program to do the same with 5 drivers of the same type.
If it is indeed the case that the only reason is volume (at the expense of bass extension and quality), then speakers like the Pipe dreams rack of drivers makes no sense. Obviously Pipe dreams must perform to some audiophile level of output, thus I am left with the conclusion that my aforementioned assumptions are wrong.
Please explain why.
