itu Posted yesterday at 15:40 Posted yesterday at 15:40 If you drive the elements with the same program (not in stereo) there's no need for the divider. Hopefully both are in the same phase. It is easy to check that with a 9 V battery: if both elements move to the same direction when you connect the battery to the input, all's good. If there's a grille, put a pencil or chopstick (dull, not a sharp one) against the element and feel the direction. 1 Quote
stevie Posted yesterday at 16:43 Posted yesterday at 16:43 It looks like you've got a 120-litre box, which is twice the size you need. This will drastically reduce the power handling of the drivers. My software puts the tuning frequency at 39Hz. So, your two 300W drivers will handle about 20 watts at 40Hz. Time to get the saw out again, methinks.😀 2 Quote
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted yesterday at 17:10 Posted yesterday at 17:10 (edited) Those dimensions give an approximate volume of 50L per driver with 55-60 Hz tuning, so the tuning is too high and the box is too big. A dividing shelf doesn't do anything other than to add bracing to the panels that it connects. You should have bracing, but as far as that's concerned a shelf is one of the least effective methods.

Dev R Posted 20 hours ago Author Posted 20 hours ago Thanks @Bill Fitzmaurice @itu and @stevie for your advice. Looks like I will be doing some more sawing!!😁 2 Quote
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago While I'm at it, shelf style ports have two issues. The short height dimension can lead to chuffing, and they don't do double duty as braces unless located between the drivers. While this isn't a bass cab, it's a sub, I use the same design features in direct radiator bass and PA mains cabs: https://celestion.com/blog/build-this-21-inch-bass-reflex-enclosure-featuring-the-tsq2145/ 2 Quote
