⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 2.2 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 0.92 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.301; 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 Dayton Audio CE67PR-4?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Dayton Audio CE67PR-4: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 185.3 Hz) needs a 7.9 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 Dayton Audio CE67PR-4 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.11 liters with a Qtc of 1.301 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.92)), the system exhibits an F3 of 259.6 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Dayton Audio CE67PR-4 to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 5.0 cm port would need 7.9 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
