Chamfered Midbass Baffles

[carguy83 0]

I was cleaning out my room, and found some literature that came with my DLS components. I didn't notice this bit of info when I was doing the install. But DLS recommends a chamfered baffle for the midbass. I simply made 1/2" birch rings with no chamfer. My question is, will I notice a big difference in midbass response by going the chamfered route? The rings are fairly thin being only 1/2", I don't think the backwaves are really hitting it. But I want to get some second opinions before I take my doors apart to redo the rings.

The basket openings seem very large and with a baffle that thin I wouldn't worry about chamfering.

ok cool, that's what i figured. thanks for the input.

the midbass response is pretty good as is. i didn't really want to redo the rings if i didn't need to.

Seems to me that doing that to the baffle would make it weaker. The last thing I want in my midbass baffle is resonance and having thin points on it will cause a loss of midbass.

They should just make the speaker deeper so that isn't an issue.

If you were using a 1" baffle I would, but not with what you have.
