⚠️ 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 Atohm C150DCR04?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Atohm C150DCR04 in a 14.1 liter vented enclosure tuned to 44.0 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 41.3 Hz.

Can Atohm C150DCR04 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 6.2 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 81.5 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Atohm C150DCR04 to avoid port chuffing?

Xmax is not published for Atohm C150DCR04, so the port is an empirical estimate: a 7.5 cm diameter with a length of 43.1 cm (area at least 12 in² per ft³ of net volume). Check the air velocity at your power level in Load Forge Studio.
