Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Celestion Truvox 1225 12" Midbass Woofer 8 Ohm?
Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Celestion Truvox 1225 12" Midbass Woofer 8 Ohm in a 43.3 liter vented enclosure tuned to 51.3 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 68.4 Hz.
Can Celestion Truvox 1225 12" Midbass Woofer 8 Ohm be used in a sealed box?
Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 54.1 liters with a Qtc of 0.881 (above Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 71.1 Hz.
What port dimensions should be used for Celestion Truvox 1225 12" Midbass Woofer 8 Ohm to avoid port chuffing?
Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 10.0 cm with a length of 13.5 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
