My comment about moving the sub away from the corner was just to make the near field measurement of the sub with out the rooms influence.When measurement is done put the sub back in its corner.

I understood GV. If it is the sub or if it is the room, there is not much i can do about it. I cant move the sub from its location, and i cant change the dynamics of the room. Modification to the enclosure is my only choice.

But its really not as bad as I am making it out to be. The sub does perform very well in its sealed inhabitat.

You can try undertuning, something like 15-16 Hz. You can also try partially stuffing the ports to see if that helps the peak at all.

I am cutting the box down to ~5.5ft^3, leaving it sealed, stuffing it heavily and buying the BDF Eq.

I think that will solve almost every problem

Like you I have WAF to consider so I'm limited to corner placement for my subs.Likewise I have found that sealed designs perform better in this location with tighter more detailed bass than ported designs.With the inevitable boost at low frequencies due too room gain corner loading a ported design "may" get you too much of a good thing.


Yeah with your BFD you should l be able to get excellent in room response,it is a great tool.

i say go big or go home.
go with two of these http://www.soundsplinter.com/rlp18_subwoofer_information.html

or 4 if you want to have sothing like my setup

The Tempest is plenty big enough....(for now)...as soon as the BDF comes in , I can smoth'n the FR responce and see how things "play" out. I think with using the BDF, I can also cut down the ft^3 of the enlcosure. Being it is sealed. More power would be needed, but right now my amp is only being used at 25%, So the headroom is there.
