⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Large enclosure volume (182.9 L) requires extensive internal matrix bracing to prevent panel resonance.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.66 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 0.933; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.
