I am not sure if this is conservative enough but that's the gamble I took. Generally I think if a second order HPF provides adequate protection in a given system, then using this workaround should work just as well. almost.

I am wondering How will I tell if I am at the Proper tunning I do NOT Want to go past the excursion limit as it is Only tuned to 16hz..(IS that the correct word??)


Also someone mentioned playing with WinISD How can I mess with WinISD to find out info they reccomended to do?? I thought WinISD ONly made the measurments for the hz rates in Db..

WinISD is modeling software. If you know specs of the driver, size and tuning frequency or port dimensions of the enclosure, then you can model how the driver would behave under given power and equalization settings.

What do you know about your driver and enclosure?

here is what I know:


Thiele-Small parameters:

Fs = 17.7 Hz
Re = 3.4 ohms[dc]
Le = 6.09 mH
Qt = 0.37
Qes = 0.39
Qms = 5.59
Mms = 434.34 grams
Rms = 8.69 kg/s
Cms = 0.184 mm/N
Vas = 274.1 liters
Sd= 1029.22 cm^2
Bl = 20.51 Tm
Lp(2.83V/1m) = 91.60 dB



The Tune of the box is at 16Hz somebody else modeled it for me.. I will be pumping about 750 watts into it. If I can figure out how to set the amount of Wattage as the Amp I have is 850w..The driver is rated at 800W but Mark the guy from Mach 5 said NOT to pump that much power into it so I am going to start low wattage and work up..

I guess if the HPF is set to 16Hz it shouldn't go too 10hz.... I am going to try and do some modeling in WinISD PRo and see what I can come up with.. IF you can would you Please mind modeling this for me and see what you come up with??

Thnx
Gerald

internal volume of the enclosure is also needed. there are online calculators you can use if it's not known

is that mach 5 audio IXL 18" driver?

Yes it is the Mach 5 IXL 18.4 18" Driver wink.gif the volume of the cabinet is 285L

here is the settings I think would work for you.

750W signal.

Gray - no HPF
Blue - 15Hz 2nd order HPF
Red - the workaround. 2dB Q=1 PEQ boost @20Hz and 1st order HPF @22Hz(this is different from the original 20Hz setting)





setting the HPF slightly higher provides better excursion control and still keeps the overall curve above tuning very similar to the real 15Hz 2nd order HPF. I willl probably use this setting with my subs.

Noah, what do you think?

That actually looks pretty good, thanks.

I didn't even know WiNISD had parametric EQ.

OK I was close in some stuff when I applied the T/S Paramaters.. I am wondering how do I make it a 1st order HPF?? is that the Butterworth with 612db??

Yes, 1st order HPF is Butterworth 6dB.
The settings are the same as in the snapshots I posted in #58, only the HPF is set @ 22Hz instead of 20Hz.
