mli-65 ht box?

[Ga foo 88 0]

Whats the recomended sealed enclosure for an mli-65 for HT use, how about ported? Id like to make some kind of towers using 3 or 4 of these and a large format tweet, any ideas on that? How much power do they like per mli-65 for HT use? Any suggestions about this idea.

Just playing around with WinISD, it looks like putting 4 MLIs in a 2.4 cu ft enclosure tuned to 42 Hz would work pretty well.

As per above, I would suggest at least 0.5 cubes per unit. Sealed, they seem restrained, but if you simply drill a hole in the back of the enclosure the midbass comes alive.

I will be posting more info on this once I do the testing...

Best,

Mark

Interesting. I was thinking of this for a summer project, but we'll see what you find out first.

Yes, a port without a tube.

it could be kind of like an IB effect.

More like aperiodic - a bit of light stuffing in the hole.

Yea, I read somewhere that the MLI-65s work very well in an aperiodic box.

I just threw one of mine in a 0.3cuft box to see how it does, and I can see what you mean by the "seem restrained" but then again, it's a really small box.

I just wanted to see what they were like, because I don't want them to be too big.

I put a pair in the rear deck of a friends 99 accord sedan, they did well, but desperately need a highpass filter on them to control overexcursion. I could see them doing very well running 50-90hz though, with at an 18db/octave slope.

I pulled together a quick page which goes over the concepts of an Aperiodic Speaker Enclosure.
