Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for ETON 3-312/C8/25 HEX Bass-mid Woofer?
A simple ported box is not recommended for ETON 3-312/C8/25 HEX Bass-mid Woofer: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 156.1 Hz) needs a 24.9 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 ETON 3-312/C8/25 HEX Bass-mid Woofer be used in a sealed box?
Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.14 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 282.4 Hz.
What port dimensions should be used for ETON 3-312/C8/25 HEX Bass-mid Woofer to avoid port chuffing?
A straight 6.8 cm port would need 24.9 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
