manifold off center

[atledreier]

Soon taking over a new house, and the designated basement room already have a convenient hole in the wall. This hole is 75x84 cm, so it should fit a 4 IB3 18 manifold. Now, the hole is off center on the wall. I don't have the exact measurements yet, but I'd say the hole is located about 1/3 of the way from the side wall. It is located about 1/3 of the height from the ceiling.

So, is the IB destined to fail? Or could it be that the position is actually beneficial to cancel modes in the room?

Unless you've done some acoustic measurements in there or some very advanced simulation, there's no way to guess what the best position to be. The position you describe is just as likely to be ideal as would be the center of the wall. It's also just as likely to be non-ideal.

I'm unsure what you mean by "destined to fail", so I can't answer that.

This question will be answered when you test the location using one of the methods listed in the FAQ
