Polk Audio Monitor 10b Passive Radiator issue (Rattle)
The other day I started noticing a rattling sound coming form one of my 10Bs'and was really baffled when I realized it was coming from the passive radiator.

Can I install passive radiators into a speaker box with regular full-range speakers?
I'm hoping to build wooden enclosures for these PC speakers I have. The drivers I'll be using will come from 2 different 2.0 PC speaker systems, and I'll be putting one driver from each into each "new" enclosure. I would also like to put passive radiators into the new enclosures. I've heard in...- Mohammad Ali

Sony passive radiator speaker system?

Boston Acoustics HD9
I just picked up a pair of Boston Acoustic HD9s on Craigslist for $40 locally. I drove to the guys house and every room was jam packed with audio gear. If my wife were not waiting in the car I could have spent some time talking to the guy. Monster receivers everywhere. I've never seen... -
What sizing of a Passive Radiator should I use?
So i have a 15" subwoofer that is 800 watts RMS and a sealed box that is 3.0 cu. ft. and i can't do a ported box since for me it's too complex on getting a low tuning and not knowing what i'm doing for tuning, but anyway i was looking at this psi Passive Radiator...
