Speaker Selection for Detuned Cabinets for Bass
#11
Hi Guys

Since much of the appeal of the detuned design stems from its "non-critical" requirements, builders have leeway in how they execute the build.

If you start with the single-15 proportion and simply turn it on its side, you have a cabinet wider than the Traynor head: 36 x 22.5 x 16. Keeping the depth the same means we want to retain the baffle area but shrink the width to 27.75; height becomes 29.2. There is lots of vertical space here to have a rectangular opening of approximately 143 sq.in. Alternatively, the driver can be offset and the port be beside it, which might be slightly stronger. If there is a grille covering, the asymmetry would not be noticed.

Have fun
