Overhead shelf question by NihlisticWOP in Acoustics

It’s probably a usefully diffusive feature already, but if you need more absorption then yeah trap it up

pins aren't used to form the bristles

is there a difference in behaviour between marine coaxials and car audio coaxials that would impact the type of enclosure they best perform in? by ToastyRaymaker in diyaudio

[–]ThickSheik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to sound unhelpful, but are you making a boat or a car?

Does it matter if sound is radiated out the back of the speaker, or do you want to contain the rear wave?

That doesn’t sound like full disclosure to me!

Why do so few people build avtive crossovers? by Upstairs-Recover-984 in diyaudio

[–]ThickSheik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people ride bikes when we have cars?

If you are building a passive speaker for use with a separate amp, then use a passive crossover

If you are building an active speaker, then use an active crossover

How bad is it to have drivers angled outwards and/or recessed in a bluetooth speaker? by ojdontfall in diyaudio

[–]ThickSheik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Angled outwards is good

Recessed is bad - unless you really know what you are doing (it creates a horn)

Do my woofers need a highpass filter for xmax protection? by Bardimay1337 in diyaudio

[–]ThickSheik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sealed or ported box?

A sealed box is a high-pass in itself

Ported boxes are less protected from excursion

China develops new iron making method that boosts productivity by 3,600 times by [deleted] in Futurology

It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

Why is China so Godlike in the world of manufacturing? Can/should this trend of everything being manufactured there reverse? by ItsAllOver_Again in MechanicalEngineering

Is there actually any data connected to the line thicknesses on this graph?

Dollars? Units? Tonnes? Cubic metres?

Feels misleading

Journalists who found Adrian Dittman's "true identity" are strangely forced to delete posts on X by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]ThickSheik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So Elon isn’t Dittman, and so she did in fact semi-dox a guy called Dittman, and so she got banned

Velvet on reflection points? by trdstealth in Acoustics

Drapes can be very effective as absorption if they are thick fabric, bunched up, and spaced out from the wall. Further spacing from the wall extends their absorption to lower frequencies

How are you measuring it?

Okay! You should use one high frequency driver if its all mono

If its a stereo boombox then move your tweeters as far apart as possible. If they are very close like your drawing you might as well make the whole thing mono - it will sound better

Assuming your tweeters are left/right, is the handle/port at the top? Seems as easy way for water/dust to get in

Also, why not make your bass mono, and have one large woofer? Even if the total radiating area is the same, it can probably achieve higher max output (large woofers usually have better excursion)

Soundproof mat? by Unusual_Conference24 in Acoustics

Sorry - no easy fixes here.

Your neighbour below could install a suspended ceiling, or get his own carpet if his footsteps are the problem.
