⚠️ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for DB Drive WDXPRO9/6NC.8S?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts DB Drive WDXPRO9/6NC.8S in a 6.3 liter vented enclosure tuned to 108.0 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 96.5 Hz.

Can DB Drive WDXPRO9/6NC.8S be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 4.2 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 187.6 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for DB Drive WDXPRO9/6NC.8S to avoid port chuffing?

Xmax is not published for DB Drive WDXPRO9/6NC.8S, so the port is an empirical estimate: a 5.0 cm diameter with a length of 4.4 cm (area at least 12 in² per ft³ of net volume). Check the air velocity at your power level in Load Forge Studio.
