Master Index of DIY Subwoofer Projects - Page 4

nice work usil. added!

cool. i linked that as 1 and your avs as 2 in the master index. if it should be presented some other way, just let me know and i'll change it up. the master index belongs to us all. i'm just the keeper for now.

welcome to avs jaco. the answer is it depends. lots of discussions around here for identifying the variables. ;-)

i suppose the list is getting large enough that segmenting it might make some sense. given that everybody will want to carve it up in different ways, i'm still noodling what makes the most sense. maybe i will just breakout all horns as a first, very rough, sort that most everyone could agree with. it seems stupid that such a trivial database sorting app hasn't found its way into discussion fora yet, oh well, i'll see what i can do.

the problem is that everybody will want a different cut.

some will want size.

some will want cost.

some will want efficiency.

some will want extension.

some will want max spl at single hz.

some will want max spl at teens hz.

some will want max spl at 20hz.

some will want a specific design (sealed/ported/horn).

and so on.

given that there are a boatload of ways of "slicing and dicing" the builds, i'm not really sure that it makes sense to try to sort them. i suppose some sort of cluster analysis might work, but that seems like overkill for what i had in mind here.

i'll noodle your comments.

after noodling it hard, i don't think any ordering makes sense.

the reason is that any person can make an equally valid rationale for another sort.

for example, should horn subs be grouped with their efficiency counterparts, their cost counterparts, or their response counterparts?

this kind of argument grouping / comparisons is without end.

everybody will have a different (and valid) opinion.

maybe it would be best to tag each build so that it can be easily sorted by users.

if someone wants to pull out all the tht builds that should be easy, even though at the moment it is impossible.

let me noodle that for a while. i see where you are coming from.

ten years from now, we will look back on this problem and laugh...

more research required supermoore1025...

thanks stgdz, added!

added! i try to keep up with all the builds, but alas i can't. i was thinking of asking for new builds every six months or so. you beat me to it.

gmichael2, i've been lurking during your amazing build thread...i should have added it earlier...awesome stuff...added!

corock, added! now, you have to actually finish it. ;-)

roger that gmichael, i've never been one to nudge folks, but a midrange egg actually holds much more potential than a bass egg. don't we all love mother nature and what she can do off axis? ;-)

i'm sorry for not including your build...added!
