⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Xmax is not published, so the port size is an empirical estimate (area ≥ 12 in² per ft³ of net volume, minimum by driver size), not a displacement calculation. Check air velocity in Load Forge Studio.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.81 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.146; 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 DB Drive WDXPRO4/6.8S:?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts DB Drive WDXPRO4/6.8S: in a 9.6 liter vented enclosure tuned to 84.4 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 107.1 Hz.

Can DB Drive WDXPRO4/6.8S: be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 12.0 liters with a Qtc of 1.146 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.81)), the system exhibits an F3 of 100.5 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for DB Drive WDXPRO4/6.8S: to avoid port chuffing?

Xmax is not published for DB Drive WDXPRO4/6.8S:, so the port is an empirical estimate: a 6.8 cm diameter with a length of 11.1 cm (area at least 12 in² per ft³ of net volume). Check the air velocity at your power level in Load Forge Studio.
