⚠️ 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 2.77 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 3.917; 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 Factory Buyouts EAB35995502 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Factory Buyouts EAB35995502 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm: the textbook alignment (1.5 liters tuned to 340.0 Hz) needs a 12.3 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 Factory Buyouts EAB35995502 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.028 liters with a Qtc of 3.917 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (2.77)), the system exhibits an F3 of 506.7 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Factory Buyouts EAB35995502 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 12.5 cm port would need 12.3 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
