??? Can you mount a Passive Radiator Inside-OUT?
« on: 27 Jul 2017, 08:07 pm »
I know some of you are searching for PR's to replace yours.

Only problem is that the conventional PR uses "washer weights" bolted to the INSIDE of the PR to DAMP it.

So you can't perform adjustments without totally removing the PR and then totally INSTALLING it again and trying.

I wonder if you could simply mount it INSIDE-OUT to do the tuning, and then either run it that way, or after tuning mount it as intended?

Any thoughts?

This might be a good PR, if that method of pre-tuning or even mounting would work.

There's no reason why you can't other than aesthetics or potentially a speaker grille. Xmax worked +/- so you could mount it backwards to tune it and then turn it around. PE also offers tech support on tuning for enclosure volume as well.

Sorry, just do a search for the PE 15" Passive Radiator.

One would also need to make sure the diameter and cutout fit, if one was to try and mount it conventionally.
