Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.72 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.018; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Bomber 3.27.404-1.32.049-MANUAL-MG-8-COPPER-RING-500-WATTS-RMS-8-OHMS?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Bomber 3.27.404-1.32.049-MANUAL-MG-8-COPPER-RING-500-WATTS-RMS-8-OHMS in a 8.4 liter vented enclosure tuned to 76.5 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 108.7 Hz.

Can Bomber 3.27.404-1.32.049-MANUAL-MG-8-COPPER-RING-500-WATTS-RMS-8-OHMS be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 10.5 liters with a Qtc of 1.018 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.72)), the system exhibits an F3 of 105.3 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Bomber 3.27.404-1.32.049-MANUAL-MG-8-COPPER-RING-500-WATTS-RMS-8-OHMS to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 8.4 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
