⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (22.8 L at 25.2 Hz) would need a 155.4 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 22.8 L at 31.5 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Port length (96.9 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
