Message: <blockquote data-quote="RobGMN" data-source="post: 8895994" data-attributes="member: 683408">In a home-audio discussion room, I mentioned the old-school method of isobarics for getting deeper, lower-distortion bass in a much smaller box. Some young gun shot back that isobarics are a crap solution for cheap woofers, and that the same thing can be achieved by simply putting drivers at opposite ends of the box.I looked into it, but there is not a ton of info from sources that I would accept as "expert". Anyone familiar with the science?I'm trying to figure out why simply putting the woofer on opposite ends of a box would allow you to cut the shared internal volume in half, and how it would mechanically reduce distortion.I did see reference to where it would make the box rattle/flex less due to the directly opposing waves, but even that doesn't make much sense.</blockquote>
