SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 1.38 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.952; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Acr Speaker 3MN0647-00 (MN-C-1018-HW CURVE)?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Acr Speaker 3MN0647-00 (MN-C-1018-HW CURVE): the textbook alignment (75.1 liters tuned to 37.4 Hz) needs a 5.5 cm port, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. A sealed box, a passive radiator or a folded duct is the practical choice.

Can Acr Speaker 3MN0647-00 (MN-C-1018-HW CURVE) be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 93.9 liters with a Qtc of 1.952 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.38)), the system exhibits an F3 of 50.0 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Acr Speaker 3MN0647-00 (MN-C-1018-HW CURVE) to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 6.8 cm port would need 5.5 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
