SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 1.21 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.711; 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 SUBWOOFER 12″ CARBON 250 WRMS 4 OHMS?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Bomber SUBWOOFER 12″ CARBON 250 WRMS 4 OHMS: the textbook alignment (54.4 liters tuned to 28.9 Hz) needs a 23.8 cm port, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. A sealed box, a passive radiator or a folded duct is the practical choice.

Can Bomber SUBWOOFER 12″ CARBON 250 WRMS 4 OHMS be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 68.0 liters with a Qtc of 1.711 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.21)), the system exhibits an F3 of 40.1 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Bomber SUBWOOFER 12″ CARBON 250 WRMS 4 OHMS to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 7.5 cm port would need 23.8 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
