⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (9.1 L at 33.1 Hz) would need a 229.0 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 18.2 L at 34.8 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Port length (99.7 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
