Title: WO with single 12 Post by samird on 01/11/07 at 01:09:31 Hi I'm 14 kid in gr 10 doing a science project on subwoofers. I have an ole 2500watt power acoustik I would like 2 build a WO for. How do i Do this ??? |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by musgofasa on 01/11/07 at 02:09:45 A better project would likely be the Death Box. The WO is a 2 woofer enclosure. There are other plans for single drivers that involve more "Horn" styles. Try: http://www.speakerplans.com or http://melhuish.org/audio/horninfo.html There are lots of single driver horn type subwoofers out there that might make a good school project, but cutting the Wo in half is probably not the easiest or best way to get results. I imagine it can be done, but the theory you are attempting to bring to the science project is like as not easily explained. Let us know which way you decide to go. Might I add that the DB will allow you a great deal of flexibility with the accompanying paper. It will allow you to show how changing the chamber size can adjust the tuning and the sound of the enclosure. That might be more fun to show in a school project too, or maybe even a small housewrecker for similar reasons. Take care, Robert |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by samird on 01/11/07 at 21:18:12 Honestly I don't have a legit credit card to buy the deathbox plans and right now I'm quite open to suggestions of a good not so difficult box design for my power acoustik 12" sub. |

build a sealed box to manufaturers specification, it doesnt get better than that. |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by Tr3vWh0r3 on 01/12/07 at 04:50:38 I can edit a picture to look like that digitally. If I used wood it would look nothing like that. As far as how it would sound? I haven't a clue.. However, it is for science. Great time to experiment! |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by Adrian D. on 01/12/07 at 15:15:46 same thing i was thinking about when i built my wo. build it like the pic trevor posted and i don't think you're going to regret it. |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by 60ndown on 01/12/07 at 22:32:35 2 drivers are meant to 'couple' at that point, with only 1 driver im guessing the pressure would drop badly and effect sound significantly for the worse. but thats a guess ::) |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by Adrian D. on 01/13/07 at 05:57:00 i've tried a normal wo and powered a one driver. you do have a loss, but it's not dramatic. |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by musgofasa on 01/13/07 at 10:32:43 In all reality, it couldn't be too bad a design. The dimensions allow it to be pretty close proximity to other "PA" cabs I have seen. Worth a try if one wanted to have a fun experiment. The question might be that last board. It might be nice if it could be hinged and the optimum angle found for tuning and output. Of course, then you could build a second one and test total output vs a regular WO. I think too much, Robert |

Title: Re: WO with single 12 Post by Jet-Lee on 01/15/07 at 18:34:56 I'd just build what Trevor did. Robert, for some reason, made me think of this:
