cabinet speakers/amp
dphirschler:
I think the reason you need to vent the bass speaker is not to get the sound out, but to keep the cabinet from rattling.
Anybody know how close one can put unshielded speakers to the monitor before it becomes a problem? Does it matter what angle the speakers are to the monitor?

I don't think you need to get sound out...like in cars, the subs are usually in the trunk in a box, or in behind or under a seat...the speaker isn't exposed...seems like you feel it more than you hear it...
I'd like to know the answer to this...I would like to know if I should remount my sub in my cab...

Here's a good buy. Check out these speakers. 4" shielded Pioneers for 49 cents each! I will let you know how they perform... when my cabinet is done.

Subs are best on the floor. They are non-directional, and not to mention, it's better if they're reverberating the floor...

Watch out what you connect those partsexpress speakers to dphirschler, they're impedence is rated at 8 ohms and they handle 5 watts each.
I'm hooking my speakers up to a 4 ohm source pumping something like 10-15 watts per channel. That is a good deal though if it conforms to your specifications.
