My LMS arrives shortly... [img]graemlins/jammin.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm still old-school with Leap 4 though... No money left to bump to 5.. maybe with some more private and prototype reviews for different companies...

This is truly sad to say, but I don't bother much with spending time designing boxes. I model them in a sheet I created and aim for a target Fs or Qts, the drop 'em in the trunk and see if I like it.

Small signal parameters are great and do a good enough job predicting the output. Just saying that it's not the end-all be-all of determining what is going to happen. Imagine if the SPL guys could predict power compression and cone pressures in their vehicles?

The LMS is for the speaker design and prototyping side of things. Determining what the specs are basically.

 

^ Dave - you sound like me. I used to pour over box programs to no end, changing the smallest details until it was "perfect"

Now, I hit what I consider to be a good balance of volume, F3, vent length, and excursion and I'm done. Generally, it takes longer to enter in the T/S specs. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Results are the same - I jsut have more free time.
