⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Straight vent would be 176.9 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) 14.4 Liters
Tuning Frequency (Fb) 29.8 Hz
F3 (-3 dB Cutoff) 43.3 Hz
F6 / F10 Extension 36.3 Hz / 28.2 Hz
Port Inner Diameter Ø 10.0 cm
Port Physical Length 176.9 cm
First Pipe Resonance 97.0 Hz
Estimated MOL @ F3 107.2 dB SPL
⚠️ Port feasibility: a straight tube would need 176.9 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.

Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.8 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.131; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.

Net Box Volume (Vb) 18.0 Liters
System Q (Qtc) 1.131 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.80))
System Resonance (Fc) 49.5 Hz
F3 (-3 dB Cutoff) 40.7 Hz
F6 / F10 Extension 34.0 Hz / 27.5 Hz

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Focal SUB 25 KXS a profondità poco profonda da 25 cm?

A simple ported box is not recommended for Focal SUB 25 KXS a profondità poco profonda da 25 cm: the textbook alignment (14.4 liters tuned to 29.8 Hz) needs a 176.9 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 Focal SUB 25 KXS a profondità poco profonda da 25 cm be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 18.0 liters with a Qtc of 1.131 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.80)), the system exhibits an F3 of 40.7 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Focal SUB 25 KXS a profondità poco profonda da 25 cm to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 10.0 cm port would need 176.9 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
