Comparable 3.0" Drivers
Drivers with similar piston area, resonance and Qts — useful alternatives when the Factory Buyouts YDT613-68 2-1/4" x 5" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm does not fit your target box volume or tuning. Each entry links to its full enclosure design and Thiele/Small parameters.
⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders
- The textbook alignment (1.5 L at 144.5 Hz) would need a 15.2 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 4.5 L at 130.1 Hz so the port can be built.
- 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 Factory Buyouts YDT613-68 2-1/4" x 5" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm?
Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Factory Buyouts YDT613-68 2-1/4" x 5" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm in a 4.5 liter vented enclosure tuned to 130.1 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 115.5 Hz.
Can Factory Buyouts YDT613-68 2-1/4" x 5" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm be used in a sealed box?
Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 0.76 liters with a Qtc of 2.263 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (1.60)), the system exhibits an F3 of 201.4 Hz.
What port dimensions should be used for Factory Buyouts YDT613-68 2-1/4" x 5" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm to avoid port chuffing?
Xmax is not published for Factory Buyouts YDT613-68 2-1/4" x 5" Paper Cone Full-Range Speaker 8 Ohm, so the port is an empirical estimate: a 5.0 cm diameter with a length of 4.2 cm (area at least 12 in² per ft³ of net volume). Check the air velocity at your power level in Load Forge Studio.
