Hmmm… I can’t comment on this. I never played with pipe and
I do not know what works and what does not in there. I think to worry about
high pass filtration via the foam inside the pipes is not what I would care.
The foam in there to virtually evened the size of the enclosure and therefore
to drive resonance frequency down. The resonance frequency itself does not say much
and what does, in my view, is how and what the sound drivers produce. I know the
drivers very well and I always appreciate in them softness with which the can
play bass. It is a bit contra-intuitive and everyone is looking for had-ass
bass and a lot of punch. It is very easy to get it from this drivers, just
drive it with some kind of SS crap. To get the driver to play fast attack with gentle
release is VERY hard. In my view those driver is they are properly loaded can produce
very good result in the fast-attack -gentle-release department. The amplification just need to be right and
the loading need to be very sensible. If I were you I would male at this point
the pipe hollow and empty (juts a smalls layer perhaps) and would think about
the specifics of damping by filler after
the LF amp will be in place.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
