- Enclosure Design -
The first step in speaker enclosure design is
obtaining accurate driver T/S parameters. This
gave me the chance to use the new Dayton WT3
woofer tester. In less than a minute I had what I
needed and was ready for box design.
Using Winspeakerz speaker software, I imported
the parameters from the WT3. Although this
driver models well in both vented and sealed
type cabinets, I chose the sealed version with an
optimum volume of 1.6 cu. ft. and an f3 of 38 Hz.
After taking into account the volume displaced
by the driver and the amplifier, I was looking at a
total volume of 2 cu. ft. It dawned on me that we
offer a cabinet of that size, complete with cutouts
for the driver, amp, and spikes in the Dayton 12"
Titanic kit.
