⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (2.2 L at 130.1 Hz) would need a 12.2 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 6.6 L at 117.1 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 1.5 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.898 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.269; 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 Coast Buyouts 03-0510 4-3/4" Paper Cone Extended Range Speaker 4 Ohm?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Coast Buyouts 03-0510 4-3/4" Paper Cone Extended Range Speaker 4 Ohm in a 6.6 liter vented enclosure tuned to 117.1 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 119.8 Hz.

Can Coast Buyouts 03-0510 4-3/4" Paper Cone Extended Range Speaker 4 Ohm be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 2.8 liters with a Qtc of 1.269 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.90)), the system exhibits an F3 of 173.4 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Coast Buyouts 03-0510 4-3/4" Paper Cone Extended Range Speaker 4 Ohm to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 2.9 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
