Comparable 10.0" Drivers
Drivers with similar piston area, resonance and Qts — useful alternatives when the Focal 25 KX does not fit your target box volume or tuning. Each entry links to its full enclosure design and Thiele/Small parameters.
⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders
- The textbook alignment (48.8 L at 29.0 Hz) would need a 50.2 cm port; the recommendation is retuned to 48.8 L at 30.5 Hz so the port can be built.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Focal 25 KX?
Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Focal 25 KX in a 48.8 liter vented enclosure tuned to 30.5 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 28.6 Hz.
Can Focal 25 KX be used in a sealed box?
Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 21.3 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 54.1 Hz.
What port dimensions should be used for Focal 25 KX to avoid port chuffing?
Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 10.0 cm with a length of 44.7 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
