Sealed (Acoustic Suspension) — compromise

SUITS INFINITE / OPEN BAFFLE

With Qts 0.72 a Butterworth (Qtc 0.707) box would be many times Vas. A box equal to Vas reaches Qtc 1.018; 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 6PT-8 6-1/2" Paper Cone Pro Sound Woofer 8 Ohm?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts GRS 6PT-8 6-1/2" Paper Cone Pro Sound Woofer 8 Ohm in a 7.6 liter vented enclosure tuned to 79.9 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 111.8 Hz.

Can GRS 6PT-8 6-1/2" Paper Cone Pro Sound Woofer 8 Ohm be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 9.5 liters with a Qtc of 1.018 (above Butterworth: Qtc cannot fall below Qts (0.72)), the system exhibits an F3 of 108.2 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for GRS 6PT-8 6-1/2" Paper Cone Pro Sound Woofer 8 Ohm to avoid port chuffing?

Sized from cone displacement (Sd × Xmax), a minimum port diameter of 5.0 cm with a length of 8.6 cm is suggested; check the port air velocity at your drive level in the Load Forge Studio.
