So....I read all the comments on DD vs DTS, and decided....
....on DD!
My sub is not exactly up to DTS standards
I'm running a 12" PE Titanic driver with a 270W plate amp in....a 1946 3/8" plywood box designed to house a 10" full-range driver in a 16mm film projector system. The box is also designed to be used.....open!!!
So I stuffed my new driver in there with an increase of power of about 26 to 1(over the old tube amp that came with the system)and sealed the box.
(note: the box has a net volume of 1.62 cu ft, and gives a Qtc of .707 with my new driver, a very good match)
I am extreemly familiar with the smell of the box as it is the first speaker I ever listened to and have fond memories going back into the 40s of watching movies on this system
While watching(and listening)to WOTW this morning, I had renewed memories of the old smells, as the driver converted itself into an air pump and evacuated a large percentage of the box at numerous parts of the DVD thru various parts of the overstressed ancient enclosure!!
I think it's time to put the nostalgic past behind me and get a better cabinet!!
