⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

The textbook alignment (11.6 L at 61.4 Hz) would need a 110.4 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 11.6 L at 64.5 Hz so the port can be built.
Port length (99.0 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
