I’ve got an idea I’m going to try out soon.
I’ve got a tiny 15w Behringer combo practice bass amp with an open back. I don’t understand why it’s not sealed. It seems it’d have a way better bass response if it were.
I’m thinking about building a custom speaker cabinet to be powered by this small amp. (I’ll just disconnect the built in speaker and use the leads to power the external cab) It’ll be 100% sealed, filled with polyfil and possibly will contain a passive radiator.
I’m just wondering why the passive radiators aren’t used in small bass amps. They sure make little Bluetooth speakers sound good, why not our amps?
This will be a simple box made of wood or MDF. If it doesn’t work as a bass cab, I can just use the enclosure for another project.
Passive radiator yes? Or no? If no, why not?
