Hi Urs,

What you gues is the solution? Do i need to forget this project with the Quasar design?

You can continue with the project but I have no idea what the performance will be, simply because I never used the driver in an open panel.

You could try to make a simple panel and mount the Altec in there to see what it brings. From there you can always go further if you like what you hear or find another solution.

An open panel has one major disadvantage, the bass is cancelled out due to the open construction. The smaller the baffle the less deeper bass you'll have which needs to be EQ-ed to get some back. Just the Altec in an open panel will not give any bass, better would be to use such a driver in an Onken Reflex enclosure so that there is no need for extra bass drivers, amplifiers and filters to get it to work together.

Ciao,

Bert
