Bad news for Ripole sub builders :-(

@Monteverdi ,

I have the non opposing ripole. I have no clue at which frequency it would resonate. I don't go higher than 60hz. I do have a peak at 37hz, but suppose that's room mode related.

Looking at the difference between the designs I would think the two driver ripole will have less resonance. Both drivers push against eachother. Whilst in the single one the driver pushes against the enclosure. And at that point it is a rather large surface.

A ripole from 30 to 150hz seems rather a stretch to me.

Regards, Hajo
 
After finding the right front and back ports surfaces, I intend to make a box less tall, but wider, to fit underneath my system
Will the dipole effect be the same, considering that I keep the optimum surfaces ports?

^^ I don't think the change would be noticeably if at all any unless its a drastic change. May be you can compare with combined output for both cases in Hornresp.

Interesting to see how some long excursion small 5inch driver like Tangband W5 1138 will do under desk!
I am not so excited with the sims for W5 so I will defer this project for a while.

With this position, I intend to overlapp over 150 Hz with the low bass of the ob and to compensate with the right phase and delay on the dsp the loss of the back side of the ob
Since it is a small cavity with SLS Peerless 10”, I hope that the resonance will be over 150Hz
It is a long shot, but it worth to try
