bulding the ultimate diy system

I will start a new thread on a swedish forum today, it's one of the few audio forums where the members have some knowledge, some of them have built infrasonic cable systems.

I won't post any more details in this thread. Enjoy your 30hz cabable subs!

My only hope is that your Swedish makes more sense than your English.
 
93dB is pretty high. With 8 bass drivers it's 111dB at 15hz, not sure if there will be any room gain @15hz though. http://www.avsforum.com/t/1314884/8x-18-lms-ultra-5400s-in-4-sealed-enclosures

8 stereo integrity ht18d2 / channel could be just as good.

Apologies it was 99.8% 3rd harmonic at 10hz for 93dB

Thanks for the laugh anyway. It was like a feature length episode of Roobard and Custard.
 
Just for a laugh I thought I would find out how long a 1Hz organ pipe is.

More than 170 metres.

As the height of the choir at York minster is 31 metres the pipe would look rather odd stuck out of the roof by 140 metres. In fact the pipe wouldn't fit along the length of the whole building. Folding the pipe would take up a bit of space as well as the Olympus engine to move sufficient air.

Actually if you use exhaust gases from a jet engine the pipe would have to be even longer.
 
I think bass tubes are normaly sealed which I think reduces the length by half and are normally folded In boxes?
 
The Sydney town hall organ, and one in Atlanta (no longer playable) have "64 foot" stops, which have a lowest note at about 8Hz.

Most other big organs have a 32foot stop, which goes down to 16Hz.

This is the Sydney 64 foot stop. I think you would describe it as inconsequential and barely makes it to the description of musical.

I think the pipes are blown from the bottom in most cases, which makes the frequency prediction difficult for my brain. No, impossible for my brain.
 
More or less, they are quarter wave resonators, so the 64 foot stop has a free air wavelength of about 256 feet. Speed of in air is (very) roughly 1000feet/s, so 256 feet is close enough to 4Hz.
 
Thanking you sir. It's interesting to look at real world acoustics. I wonder whether the roughly 1/4 wave will stick in the brain.
 
Is not something like this a more cost effective and efficient solution?

no i don't think it's more cost effective, also it is limited to below 20hz, also it's more difficult to get it homogenious over the entire room with a fan sub.

i guess it was a mistake only alternate between 2 different nicks on for all forums, to late now..
