⚠️ Engineering Notice for Builders

  • Xmax is not published, so the port size is an empirical estimate (area ≥ 12 in² per ft³ of net volume, minimum by driver size), not a displacement calculation. Check air velocity in Load Forge Studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended ported (bass reflex) box volume for Hertz SV 200 NEO?

Load Forge's calculated alignment puts Hertz SV 200 NEO in a 12.1 liter vented enclosure tuned to 77.9 Hz, reaching an F3 cutoff of approximately 79.0 Hz.

Can Hertz SV 200 NEO be used in a sealed box?

Yes. In a sealed (acoustic suspension) enclosure of 9.5 liters with a Qtc of 0.707 (Butterworth), the system exhibits an F3 of 141.4 Hz.

What port dimensions should be used for Hertz SV 200 NEO to avoid port chuffing?

Xmax is not published for Hertz SV 200 NEO, so the port is an empirical estimate: a 6.8 cm diameter with a length of 10.0 cm (area at least 12 in² per ft³ of net volume). Check the air velocity at your power level in Load Forge Studio.
