Greetings from Norway.
One question: will a thickness of 9cm (3.5 ") on the baffle have a major impact on the sound of a single element open baffle construction?
Today I have a pair of Decware Big Betsy with the speaker element F15 from Lii Audio. Just for fun, and to test the difference, I have plans to build a pair of larger Open Baffles with F18 from Lii Audio. And in that connection I can buy a table top in solid oak 100cm wide, 250cm long and 9cm thick.
So the question is whether the thickness of 9 cm (3.5 ") will have a negative impact on the sound image in terms of diffraction, and possibly where the front of the woofer should be placed, in front of the hole, in the middle, or in the back?
Thanks
