1. The response above 140hz remains exactly the same, so if you cross over higher than that the main difference you get from plugging the ports will be that you will close off the airflow in the chambre and therefore the cooling. So, you'll be better off if you keep the design as is. 2. You...

After all the reading that I've done on the matter, it seems like the BMS has the sweetest VHF sound in the business but an MF that sounds "good sometimes and wrong sometimes". The RCF seems to have a great sound up until the VHF where it sounds "surprisingly good" for being such a large driver...

I'm actually sort of serious. I mean... if it's distortion that they want, why not try to make the best of it? I was thinking that it might be a good idea to route the signal through something that produces a customizable effect, possibly mainly consisting of even order harmonics. You know...

Maybe something like this could be useful to you. https://www.thomann.de/se/eventide_h9_max_harmonizer.htm

Good input, Art! So, what we have figured so far is that the MF for the 4594 and the DCX464 likely have very similar output when displacement, sensitivity, and power handling are all accounted for. The 4594 is specified to be good for 1kw above 500hz, but only 150w above 400hz. That equals...

FWIW, the 4594 has a 3" diaphragm and is speced as being good for 1kw peak power above 500hz. The DCX354 does have a higher sensitivity and a more extended MF response than the 4594, indicating a lighter moving mass or a smaller chambre or both, but I'd be surprised if it couldn't handle at...

At how strong of a signal do you bash the DCX464's diaphragm into the phase plug in the first place? With a recommended lowest highpass of 300hz for the 464, I assume that you have a whole lot of displacement left if you cross if over at 650hz instead. So much so that you could probably go for a...

Filling the whole chamber would impact the air flow, making the drivers heat up faster. I would avoid that. Do put some foam on the free surfaces though, as in, the sides, top and bottom of the chamber.
