Those are highly advanced designs that incur their own set of difficulties and design challenges.Įxample: I want to go with a tower design that is ported. Do you want a floorstanding tower speaker, or a pair of bookshelves? Are you designing a full-range speaker or a subwoofer? I have yet to see any of my friends tackle a bipole or dipole speaker–and for good reason.

H-PAS and other fancy porting solutions aside, the capabilities of the low frequency driver will ultimately interact with the speaker cabinet and affect your low frequency response and tuning. The frequency range–particularly the low frequency extension, will guide some basic dimensions related to the speaker cabinet design. The first thing to decide before choosing a speaker cabinet design is what frequency range you’re going to achieve (or attempt). There were a ton of speaker cabinet design directions he could have gone with, but he settled on some very simple plans that allowed him to do some comprehensive math and acoustic calculations using software made for that very purpose. My friend is an engineer by trade, and a person with an uncanny ability to focus and delve deeply into the principles behind the area of loudspeaker design. It’s not something I would recommend to just anybody. I have a friend who “loves his speakers”.
