"nutspace"

@stevebquinn what do you mean by that?

[DJmonsty]

if i would make a passive radiator i would do it with a blown speaker

[Elnufo]

@DJmonsty Yes, a blown one is the right choice for this. Thats exactly what i did, i would never sacrifice a working speaker :-)

why did hey do that?! i thought he was going to put the coil an magnet on the bottem what was the point of all this o.0

@TOAST2472 Just read the title. Maybe lookup "Passive Radiator" in google, then you might get it.

i love germans speaking english :D

@JillBattleSlut I agree, it's much easier and faster to just force the magnet off, but the way i did it it looks better :-))

There is a good feason for using weights: The resonant-frequency of the PR defines a zero crossing in sound pressure level, that is why the PR should be tuned at least one octave lower than the pushing Driver.

[Elnufo]

@Andyatallah No, the frequency must be low. Bass has only very low notes.

@Elnufo

ok so if i want to take the most advantage of my passive radiators the frequency should be high?

i mean to make them giving me the most bass they could.
