Looks like a tough road...but one worth traveling.My first step is a quick sweep of a speakers response.I can do that on a laptop using truerta.That will give me an idea where the speakers natural rolloff is at the listening position.Then dial in the right XO on the sub as to not blend too high up into the monitors range of sound.Then adjust the level and...well it's a start.
The vandersteen is sweet,no doubt.I like the line level hipass they use and the speaker level input as to get the signature on the main amp being used.I think thats why i remember my old system sounding so good.
My cabinet guy has the blue prints now.I'm figuring if i can get the cash together I may pick up the parts in the next month.
My hope is to fill in about an octave or so.If the low end rolloff is around 40-45hz, I can get down to about 20hz.My goal is to use multiple drivers and make sure the sub is never put in a corner.I have never liked the added problems corner placement has offered.Time will tell if this is capable or not.
Due to the sealed alignment I may have to impiment an LT circuit.The problem as I stated before is that extending frequency response eats up power and Xmax.This will be interesting.
