⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Xmax is not published, so the port size is an empirical estimate (area ≥ 12 in² per ft³ of net volume, minimum by driver size), not a displacement calculation. Check air velocity in Load Forge Studio.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.933 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.319; 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 Aiyima 4ohm 3w 1in?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Aiyima 4ohm 3w 1in: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 406.6 Hz) needs a 2.3 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 Aiyima 4ohm 3w 1in be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.01 liters with a Qtc of 1.319 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.93)), the system exhibits an F3 of 514.4 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Aiyima 4ohm 3w 1in to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 10.0 cm port would need 2.3 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
