Cool Passive Radiators

Hey Archemedes, I know you have been around most systems and have probably worked with them. I am also waiting for you to get some truly wicked items for sale on your ebay account.

I am interested in creating a PR system, and wondering if it is worth all the time and effort it will take to tune the PR to the box. I hear there are lots of pros and cons. I would love your two cents on the issue.

-Klique

Wow, Arch hasn't been around here for months and months and months. I'd be suprised if he even looks at the board anymore.

Where did arch disappear to anyway? I know he had some RL troubles... but would be nice if he'd drop by once in a while.

sorry I didn't see this. I wouldn't go through the trouble for a pr system unless space is a real issue, they can sound good, but going up just 1 speaker size give the same results

it's a speaker with no motor structure, and works similar to a large port, very common in home theater systems

gotcha arch.. i read up on it a bit.. i am familiar with the design just never heard the name for it i guess..

yea man i wouldnt bother with that in a car.. your talking lots of work.. and i dont think your going to get the same kind of sound as you would from standard car audio speakers.. plus you would need all kinds of processors and what not i would think

it works well in a home, but you have a bit more space to tune things up, in the car it has to be a bit more precise or you hear the weirdness
