Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Dual speaker sub..

Ahhhh, I had not taken into consideration the additional spacing 'within' the set.. Good to know, as I originally had mine located much closer to the sides..
And, you say the lens assemblies are shielded as well ? Something the factory does to protect itself from the internal speakers ? Makes sense..

The lens assembly has a shield around it, looked like possibly aluminum in my Toshiba, with a black paint on the interior.
This makes sense.
As you say it might shield the lens from the internal speakers, as well as act as a black surround to reduce internal reflections from the lens within the cabinet.

HI Mikey,

Nope, not at this point. And with the powered dual-driver approach, you'd lose the positional advantage of energizing the room from two different locations with two subs, thus smoothing out the room modes somewhat.

It would be expensive to build and costly to buy. On the other hand, the greater area of the two drivers' cones would add a 3-dB improvement in output. But you are still stuck with the problem of enclosure size vs. bass extension. If you want deeper bass, you have to make the enclosure bigger; either that or compensate with a huge internal amplifier a la Sunfire.

Regards,

Check out the Mirage BPS400i; Bipolar 400 watt sub; incredible.

Oops; forgot to add a review for it This one is on my wish list

There is also a forum you can read posts about the "Home Wrecker".
This is a great forum with a wealth of knowledge, I am glad I found it. As soon as I get back to the States Ill be buying some great Axiom speakers.

I just upgraded from a 10 year old Infinity Dual Driver SSW-210 sub where both were powered in a sealed enclosure. It was a great sounding sub but the enclosure was huge and heavy! Left a small footprint but was almost as tall as the M60's I just bought. My new EP 350 is every bit as tight and deep.
