Another of your epic builds. Is your day job a engineer or like backround?Alan
Very impressive and intriguing project.Curious...Where does the cardioid pattern eminent from? From the slot outwards with the null part of the pattern in the back of the sub?thanksJS
This is awesome!!! You've probably received this question a hundred times already, but how does the sound of your ripoles compare to dual OB servo subs? Can you use your ripole design with servo woofers?
Update Thursday 12/15/22:My new Ripole subs are finally finished and I've been playing some very demanding bass tracks this evening...from Malia & Boris' album Convergence to Bela Fleck's Flight of the Cosmic Hippo-- and they sound ridiculously good.
Beautiful work as always.Did you sell those speakers that you built some time back?
Your builds are better looking, Jazzman53.Are they the same size as the ModelAkustik ones?
I'd be very interested to hear whether anyone has tried a ripole servo sub as well! I'm currently playing with a design that leverages the GR Research/Rhythmik Audio components in a ripole-similar layout... basically trying to create a slightly smaller speaker that's still OB top to bottom and with serious bass output.
I built Ripole Sub after finding information on your first build. Had a couple Infinity 10" sub drivers looking for a home. Built around those using the guidelines for front and rear opening size. Except, did not cut a hole for the magnet structure planning a piano black finish all around. Within minutes of listening heard deep, clean bass like never before. After a few months, installed Underhung drivers resulting in stronger bass down to 30Hz. If I did another build, how would the front and rear opening sizes impact response? Does damping material make a difference? Thanks.
