    9.28 cu. ft. 30x60 degree corner speaker?

    Please critic these 48" tall 30x60 degree 9.28 gross cubic feet corner bass reflex speakers. Any giant flaws? Could these be made into mass loaded transmission lines?

    You might consider the golden ratio. height X width

    Golden Ratio Calculator - Golden Mean - Golden Rectangle - Metric

    How about this Plan B? Could go as tall as 7 feet which equals 14.952 cu. ft.

    I ended up getting the best sound out of my speakers by placing them so the distance from the center of the driver to the side wall was half of the distance of the center to center of the drivers. Also having them off the wall somewhat helped with the depth of the sound. But do whatever you want, It's a free country.

    I've got my current speakers crammed into the corners now and they sound fabulous.

    A cabinet I thought interesting is the Rebel cabinet, A back loaded BR cabinet.
    One of these days I will construct A modified version with 15-22 cubic ft for the
    604 series..........

    Assuming you're in no hurry, I have some thoughts, but unable to do much of anything computer wise for now beyond saying it has potential with just some dimensional changes.

    Thanks a million GM, I have all of the time in the world since I don't have speakers yet, and have to remove a picture window and install a patio door in a new location first. After paying attention to the Onken speaker thread and all of the pros and cons, I felt motivated to work on my dream bucket list. I will admit that after reading about transmission lines for about 20 hours, I still know nothing.

    You're welcome!

    Did you read the docs on Transmission Line Theory?

    Your 30X60 cabs look good.

    If you want to go with an Altec cab there is the 9.25cu.ft. 850A (if properly loaded its a Laguna).
    Or its smaller brother the 852A
