Post Subject: Just strategizingPosted by Romy the Cat on: 3/3/2016

Well, I did not crawl to the specific attic area where it might be done. Hell, I did not close the house yet - it will be in distant May. I am just strategizing…

Hypothetically the problem with infinite baffle would be that drivers exposed to temperature and most of attic. With driver looking down gravity will bias suspension. So, I think the best would be to enclose drivers in large box. That would in addition minimize that house structure excitement as if something got ringy at high volumes then it will be pain in ass to find and fix it. The next think is the size. The joists are 12” or 16” apart but the drivers are 18”. It is possible to cut joists and to build two bridges but I am not sure that it would not compromise the structure of the roof. I think better bet would be to put between two joists a large 16 feet baffle of 3”-4” thick. In the baffle might host 10-12 my favorite Scan-Speak 10” drivers per channels. They to put a sarcophagus atop of the baffle, not sure if it should be sealed or juts temperature/moisture controlling enclosure.

The bass towel would run down to 30-40Hz in my estimation and the ceiling channels would kick in at 20Hz-25Hz in transition slope. What I wonder: if I have such a channel at ceiling at 20Hz then should I go mono? I personally based to go R and L on side ceilings but this would require to know if the playback will be along or across the room’s axis.
