⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (1.5 L at 136.5 Hz) would need a 17.5 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 1.9 L at 95.5 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Limited linear excursion (Xmax: 3.1 mm); set a high-pass subsonic filter at 25–30 Hz when driven with high power.
