⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (1.5 L at 85.0 Hz) would need a 50.7 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 1.5 L at 93.5 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 1.83 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.8 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.131; 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 FaitalPRO 4FE32 4" Neodymium Professional Woofer 16 Ohm?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts FaitalPRO 4FE32 4" Neodymium Professional Woofer 16 Ohm in a 1.5 liter vented enclosure tuned to 93.5 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 131.3 Hz.

Can FaitalPRO 4FE32 4" Neodymium Professional Woofer 16 Ohm be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 1.7 liters with a Qtc of 1.131 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.80)), the system exhibits an F3 of 122.9 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for FaitalPRO 4FE32 4" Neodymium Professional Woofer 16 Ohm to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 41.3 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
