⚠️ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Aiyima 4ohm 5w 1.5in?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Aiyima 4ohm 5w 1.5in: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 203.3 Hz) needs a 5.9 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 5w 1.5in be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.05 liters with a Qtc of 0.593 (below Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 359.9 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Aiyima 4ohm 5w 1.5in to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 5.0 cm port would need 5.9 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
