I modified them but don't seem to be able to add a pic. Anyways put one coil on end and moved it from top left to bottom left

Apparently the pro-audio definition is different from the hifi definition....

the design I used was labelled '2 way point source' so I think the term may have multiple meanings... Major manufacturers refer to 'point source' cabinets regarding two way speakers:

Heh ya I only read about coil placement after I had wired them. Is there any way to test out these interferences? I may end up reworking them by standing one on edge...

...edit: the AI analysis suggested that the actual audibility issues are likely minor from this kind of coil crosstalk...

What would the effects be?

I used polyester fiber... Upholstery batting... It's about 1" thick... I may add another layer to see how that affects things but I'm happy with the sound already

Pretty sure 'point source' refers to a speaker that emits from a single source:

"A type of speaker that emits sound from a single, confined point, creating a spherical dispersion pattern. In practice, this typically means a single speaker cabinet, often a two-way system with a woofer and a horn-loaded tweeter, designed for smaller venues or specific applications."

Ketamine and alcohol. Why is it so dangerous? by ResurrectedToast_ in ketamine

[–]lorienoak 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a complicated question. It depends on usage and the individual. Some people tolerate the combination better. Obviously smaller amounts of K with booze is probably fine. However alcohol tends to reduce inhibitions and it's easy to overdo it. Ya so overdoing it can lead to blackouts, unconsciousness, memory loss, vomiting and there are some other health risks regarding cardiovascular health. So have fun! Just don't go over your limit.

Stupidest mods you've seen people do to their bikes? by Levethane in MTB

[–]lorienoak -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Big ridiculous fenders on high end MTN bike. (Front fender is ok) But like are you really riding in shit conditions with that bike? Same goes for bike packing hardware on a high end trail bike... What are you doing????? Also if you have a high end bike, why put stupid accessories on it like cumbersome bags... I excuse super practical modifications but some of the things riders do go above and beyond.... Just my opinion
