⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Straight vent would be 435.7 cm long: not physically buildable as a simple tube. Use a passive radiator, a folded slot port or model a 3D folded duct in Load Forge Studio.

Textbook Bass Reflex — not recommended

PORT NOT BUILDABLE
Net Box Volume (Vb) 13.9 Liters
Tuning Frequency (Fb) 38.8 Hz
F3 (-3 dB Cutoff) 40.8 Hz
F6 / F10 Extension 35.5 Hz / 31.9 Hz
Port Inner Diameter Ø 20.0 cm
Port Physical Length 435.7 cm
First Pipe Resonance 39.0 Hz
Estimated MOL @ F3 136.1 dB SPL
⚠️ Port feasibility: a straight tube would need 435.7 cm and cannot fit in a practical cabinet, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. Prefer the sealed alignment, a passive radiator, or a 3D folded duct in Load Forge Studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Fi Car Audio SW-NEO37-15?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Fi Car Audio SW-NEO37-15: the textbook alignment (13.9 liters tuned to 38.8 Hz) needs a 435.7 cm port, and no nearby retune stays buildable without a bass hump. A sealed box, a passive radiator or a folded duct is the practical choice.

Can Fi Car Audio SW-NEO37-15 be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 6.2 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 112.9 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Fi Car Audio SW-NEO37-15 to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 20.0 cm port would need 435.7 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
