OK, so I needed a smaller, really cheap (emphasis cheap) sub for the computer, and I saw a Dayton Titanic MkIII 10" driver for half price on the'bay. I thought to myself, hey, why don't I grab this and a 300w BASH amp and make a PB10 clone?
Unfortunately my auction skills seem to surpass my box modelling skills, and I now realize this driver is no substitute for the PB10-NSD driver. No worries though, I don't need 105db output, I thought (but I would like to get the thing way down low, like a 20hz tuning, for reasonable-volume movie watching/monitoring). At least, until I tried to model something.
Are there any good designs or ideas for a ported 10" sub, either boxed or tubed? I can't seem to get a good fit on anything with this driver, as it wants a really small box, but then you can't get a low tuning on it due to port length, or risk having a huge 'saddle' in the output. I previously used a 10" car sub in a sealed 0.75ft3 box, and it sounded great, but there was absolutely no useable output below 30hz, which is noticeable for films. Should I perhaps just sell this titanic off and start again with a bigger driver, or does anyone think I can make this work?
