A lot of comments on the Bd15 cabinet (BD-Design)

Hi Angelo,

the only way to come close to a similar bass performance as the bd15
cabinet is in my opinion to mantain the volume.

Volume is one, port tuning frequency and position (port and driver) is another one. Internal and external dimensions also influence the frequency response and the harmonics of these dimensions with their own timing, colour and phase behaviour.

Using just the same internal volume and the same port frequency (and damping coefficient) doesn't mean that the sound/performance will be the same... so its not a 100% rule that the same filter will just match the same as with the original design.

As mentioned before, most loudspeaker manufacturers (and DIY-ers) use their computer or calculator and hardly their ears. Did you ever wondered why so many loudspeakers have the same sound character?

I am building loudspeakers for 30 years now and I am still learning...

Ciao,

Bert
