⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (3.2 L at 80.4 Hz) would need a 168.9 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 3.2 L at 104.5 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Port length (96.3 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
