[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8826274, member: 678073"] I’ve done quite a few radiator builds. I like the sound. Drop off below tuning is sharper than ported, so you’d want them tuned a little lower than what you’d normally do ported. The best sound I’ve gotten from them was a ported box sub in a sealed box air space with a really low tuned radiator (Box tuning of 25 HZ). If you use a ported box air space you’ll likely need to double cone area for the radiators (the larger the box the more the radiators will move). I’m screwing around with 10 inch radiators now. Had them paired with a single 10, single 8 and a single 12 so far in different configurations and box sizes. This is what I’m playing with currently. A single 8 inch tuned to 25 HZ. Believe it or not, that 8 pushes a single radiator over xmax in that box. My favorite so far was a single 12 inch sub in a sealed box air space with a single radiator. Basically turning a sealed box into a small ported box tuned extremely low. I also listened to these subs in the sealed boxes before cutting the holes for the radiators so I could witness the difference with my own ears. They are fun to play with. I’m doing a 15 with dual 12 inch radiators next. [MEDIA=youtube]oSVUwIz1VTc[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
