Title: My ripole project
Post by: zobsky on 24 Sep 2007, 07:26 pm

In progress. My main thread  is at diyaudio.com (  http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1308576#post1308576 )but I figured I'd post here too to draw from and hopefully contribute to the wealth of experience. Basically a dual driver ripole with the cones facing each other, . a.k.a. BMC (Blow Motion Concept)

Critiques, . .suggestions etc .. welcome . Should I expect this device to be utterly inefficient?
 If I need to add a U-extension at the rear later on, I plan to implement it via a sliding sleeve.
