At the risk of sounding like the newbie I am...I've run into some design issues that need some expert insight.
I've seen and researched multiple different Nat-P designs from bookshelf to towers, ported and sealed.
I'm ridding myself of my commercial Infinity's for a home theatre comprised of DIY in a year long project beginning in March. So to get to the point here are my questions...
1. What is involved within the crossover from the bookshelf design to the tower design. Is there a TL version and if so is it similar to the Seas/Thor version? That's not important to me, just curious.
2. Are there design issues with a horizontal arrangemnt with Nat-P and would a seperate mid need to be added to accomodate dialoge as is typical with most Center channel designs. Again what crossover issues are underlying?
3. Ohm ratings and Power. Never heard anyone state the specs on the design for these and if there is an optimal configuration of impedance and power. I'm running SS amp 150 at 8 and 250 at 4. I'd love to keep it at the 4 range but I'm sure this is up to the builder and which drivers and crossover components are selected.
4. Last question. As I understand an optimal enclosuer is one that is very dead from an accoustic point. Is this why solid wood enclosures and never discussed or is this a cost prohibitive issue. I happen to have an abundance of very good supplies available and want to know if there is a reason I should not use real solid building material.
Thanks in advance and please don't slap me around for asking such elementary questions.
I've sweat over this decison for over a year now and I'm all in. No turning back now. So all the advice you can offer is greatly appreciated.
I have one remaining question but I'll reserve it until I see what kind of response this generates.
DA
Go CATS!
