    This document provides instructions for building a high-power, double 21-inch band-pass subwoofer enclosure using two 21NLW9000 drivers. It includes specifications for the recommended drivers, details on enclosure construction using 18mm birch plywood, guidelines for internal damping, and suggested processing settings to optimize the system response. Measurements taken with the 21NLW9000 driver show its excess efficiency that requires careful equalization to achieve a flat target response.

    Application Note #9:

    Building an effective,
    high power, manifolded,
    Double 21”,
    Band-Pass subwoofer.
    Eighteen Sound Technical Department
    March, 2010
    PRELIMINARY Rev. 0.1
    Manifolded, Double 21” Band-Pass Subwoofer kit

    •High performance 2 x 21” subwoofer system


    •Multiple driver choice is possible:
    • 21NLW9000, for high power handling
    and lightweight box, neodimium
    magnet equipped.
    • 21LW1400 for cost effective solution
    equipped with ceramic magnet
    • Alternatively, 21NLW9600 could be a
    special option for highest efficiency,
    increased motor-strength and
    maximum impact.

    •21NLW9000 woofer key features:


    Neodymium magnet
    5.3” interleaved sanwitch voice coil (ISV)
    Triple silicon spider (TSS)
    1800W AES power handling

    •21LW1400 woofer key features:


    4” interleaved sandwitch voice coil (ISV)
    Double silicon spider (DSS)
    Double demodulating rings (DDR)
    1500W AES power handling

    •21NLW9600 woofer key features:


    Similar mechanic characteristics like
    21NLW9000 model but with
    augmented strength magnet for
    an outstanding 43.5! Bl factor.

    •The enclosure should be made of Baltic birch •It’s recommended to well damping the cabinet
    plywood (18mm thickness) interior
    •Bolts are M6x35mm •You should see an example of the required
    dampening on the image on the next page
    •M6 T-Nuts are recommended
    •An high density dampening material, such as
    •Handling, rigging and connectors are user’s
    Dacron or other synthetic fibers, is required for
    choice
    better performance

    Processing Guidelines and Processor Response with 21NLW9000


    The equalization filter Eq2 must be carefully
    set in order to obtain proper performances

    Necessary Processor Settings with 21NLW9000 Loudspeaker

    High pass: Butterworth 2nd order, 12dB/Oct @ 25 Hz

    Parametric EQ Eq1: F= 33 Hz - Gain= 2dB - Q= 0.8


    Eq2: F= 105 Hz - Gain= -12 dB - Q= 3

    Low pass: Linkwitz-Riley 4th order, 24dB/Oct @ 95 Hz


    Polarity: Positive (+)
    Limiter: @ +13dBu, 100ms Atk. Time, X4 Release Time
    Output Gain: + 8dB

    Processing Parameters Referred to XTA DP224/DP226/DP448 Processors


    Required Amplifier for proper driving, approx.: 2500W @ 8 Ohm, 5000W @ 4 Ohm with Gain 32dB
    Gain and Limiter Values need to be properly adjusted if different gain amplifier is being used
