⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (2.3 L at 125.4 Hz) would need a 92.8 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 2.9 L at 100.3 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Port length (73.5 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
