SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.97 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.372; for a flat response this driver is better used on an infinite (IB) or open baffle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for GRS 10PR-8 10" Poly Cone Rubber Surround Woofer?

A simple ported box is not recommended for GRS 10PR-8 10" Poly Cone Rubber Surround Woofer: the textbook alignment (45.8 liters tuned to 34.0 Hz) needs a 7.5 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 GRS 10PR-8 10" Poly Cone Rubber Surround Woofer be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 57.2 liters with a Qtc of 1.372 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.97)), the system exhibits an F3 of 46.3 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for GRS 10PR-8 10" Poly Cone Rubber Surround Woofer to avoid port chuffing?

A straight 5.0 cm port would need 7.5 cm of length, which does not fit a practical cabinet. Use a passive radiator or a folded/3D duct instead of a straight tube.
