⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (4.0 L at 91.0 Hz) would need a 102.1 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 4.0 L at 95.5 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Port length (91.9 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
