⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • The textbook alignment (2.7 L at 100.1 Hz) would need a 127.0 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 2.7 L at 115.1 Hz so the port can be built.
  • Port length (93.9 cm) exceeds a straight internal run; use an elbow bend, slotted vent or 3D folded duct to fit the enclosure.
