I messed my Sag calculations up.
I ordered two RS 15" HF drivers to be down firing in separate tube enclosures. I had used the long formula and got a Sag of 4.4%. Yesterday, I found a post by Darrenk in which he said he would not recommend them for a horizontal application, and that got me thinking. I then re-ran the calcs and came up with 5.47%. :M Unibox says .95, which no ones uses.
I spent most of the evening trying to find more info about the sag formula and long-term durability of drivers in this position. I found nothing. The only thing repeated over and over again is that you are good under 5% and that flipping the driver around every once and awhile might help.
Does anyone here have real world experience with drivers over the 5% limit? I'm I just out of luck?
